An OS for the Days of Yore

Via Kedrosky, a post by Roger Ehrenberg that gives voice to what you’ve intuitively known for a long time: Microsoft may be ‘yesterday’s man’: “And it appears that Vista – the product, the PR, the marketing approach – is the result of such an organization. At times brilliant, very heavy, complicated and expensive. This is not a product for today. This is a product for an era when the desktop ruled. And that era is long gone.” It’s a small point, but Mathew’s comment on the tools we used to put together mesh is a propos. Oh, and I guess Nick Carr is today, too.
