Steve Ballmer visionäärinä?

"Vieläkö muistatte näitä klassisia väittämiä että kukaan ei tarvitse enempää kuin 640 kt muistia, tai että internetistä ei koskaan tule suurta hittiä?"

Väittämä kyllä meni näin:

"I laid out memory so the bottom 640K was general purpose RAM and the upper 384 I reserved for video and ROM, and things like that. That is why they talk about the 640K limit. It is actually a limit, not of the software, in any way, shape, or form, it is the limit of the microprocessor. That thing generates addresses, 20-bits addresses, that only can address a megabyte of memory. And, therefore, all the applications are tied to that limit. It was ten times what we had before. But to my surprise, we ran out of that address base for applications within—oh five or six years people were complaining. "

Bill Gates ei ole ikinä sanonut, että 640kt olisi riittävä kaikille.

Nämä ovat kyllä hyviä:

"The finest pieces of software are those where one individual has a complete sense of exactly how the program works. To have that, you have to really love the program and concentrate on keeping it simple, to an incredible degree."

"We're no longer in the days where everything is super well crafted. But at the heart of the programs that make it to the top, you'll find that the key internal code was done by a few people who really know what they were doing."

"The worst programs are the ones where the programmers doing the original work don't lay a solid foundation, and then they're not involved in the program in the future."

"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning."

Ja näitä oppimislähteitä alkaa olla yhä enemmän mutta tuskin Gatesin puulaaki on ottanut mitään opikseen.

Sanoisin että Bill Gates oli sentään, yleensä hymyilevänä, harmittoman näköinen veikko joka ehkä ulkokuorellaan vakuutti paljon asiakkaita. Samaa ei voi sanoa Stevestä jonka ulkokuorikin, rasvaa tirisevä kalju, herättää vastenmielisyyttä ja epäluuloa etenkin yhdistettynä jätkästä tehtyihin mediapätkiin.

Voipi olla että Steve on aivan väärä mies Microsoftin johtoon mutta niin kauan kuin hän siellä pysyy niin se lienee muiden etu joten kauan johtakoon Steve.
