alexs:

Microsoft’s woes aren’t specific failures of strategy or execution: the company culture, structure, inertia, and ethos are so deeply flawed that it can’t recover. Microsoft can _never_ do what Apple and Google are doing today. It’s too broken. Insert your Titanic metaphor of choice.
“This ship can’t sink!” “She’s made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can.”
