It has been exactly one year since I last updated. I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been busy and travelled for 9 months over the last year and in the process observed the economies and culture of many countries. I hope to share some of those thoughts on this blog in the future.
And to today's topic:
Bill Gates announced last night that he will be retiring from Microsoft in a couple of years. The Microsoft empire has obviously changed the world and the way we live. But many question where Microsoft is heading. With Google leading the internet advertising space and leading the next generation of on demand software and web-based software. Can Microsoft remain King for much longer?
Bill Gates is a legend. He will be remembered as one in the tech world as well as the most generous philanthropist in history. He is a great visionary and a great man.
I think the bigger question for Microsoft is Steve Balmer and the rest of the top management and architects. If they can innovate and mobilize Microsoft to be nimble, they have a great chance to remain on top in the next change wave of software technology. If they cannot, the departure of Bill Gates may be remembered as the day Microsoft turns south
