Ironically, I am looking at a book on my bookcase shelf by (the MSFT) Bill Gates titled “Business At The Speed Of Thought” which he wrote maybe 15 to 20 years ago. He was right on about what is actually happening today relative to the capability for instantaneous information flow. Yet he had to step down. His MSFT is mature and in big trouble of being able to grow at all, but has a stockpile of cash, and is taking it over to Yahoo in boatloads, to invest in a dying 10% mkt. share search business.
