Paul Graham says…Microsoft is Dead
April 9th, 2007[ Geek ]
This has already done the rounds but if not, Paul Graham recently suggested that Microsoft is Dead. He didn’t mean dead like gone-dead and had to go so far as to explain himself.
A few highlights:
- “No one is even afraid of Microsoft anymore. They still make a lot of money—so does IBM, for that matter. But they’re not dangerous.“
- “All the computer people use Macs or Linux now. Windows is for grandmas, like Macs used to be in the 90s. So not only does the desktop no longer matter, no one who cares about computers uses Microsoft’s anyway.“
