Das System Bill Gates
Der Innovator
Rollen, Rollen, Rollen
Unless we're allowed to enhance Windows, I don't know how to do
my job. Bill Gates (San Jose Mercury News 28.1.98) Wenn man bei NT ein neues Programm installieren oder die IP-Adresse
ändern will, muß man den ganzen Computer runterfahren. Das ist
genauso, wie wenn man zum Anschalten des Radios im Auto erst den
Motor ausmachen müßte. Nennt sich das Innovation?" Gates-Rivale und Sun CEO Scott McNealy (vgl. Krempl in Telepolis vom 17.2.98 ) We have very strong relationships with our customers. They've
always got feedback for us on how we can do things better, how
we should change things and we're hard at work to do that. If you look at Microsoft's successes over the years they have
been rarely done by innovation. They bought DOS, they copied effectively
a lot of what was in the Macintosh into Windows. In fact, Windows
has gotten to look a lot more like that in 95 and 98. Windows
NT is basically being built by the guy that built the VAX/VMS
operating system. It is an Intel-based implementaion of VMS. So
where is the innovation? The innovation is the talking paper clip
in Microsoft Office. Is that real innovation? Mitchell Kertzman, Chairman und CEO der von Microsoft "aus dem
Weg geräumten" Firma Sybase
