Microsoft Vista turns from flying pig into Pegasus
View at theinquirer.com
AN ARTICLE in the 23rd of September edition of the Wall Street Journal gives a step by step account of what went wrong at Microsoft and purportedly why its CEO Steve Ballmer fashioned a major re-organisation at the firm into three divisions.
It claimed that in July last year, Jim Allchin told chief architect and chairman Bill Gates that Longhorn was so complicated that developers wouldn't be able to make it work properly and suggests that he always thought that. Allchin is only 53 and is retiring at the end of next year and it's hard to read the Wall Street Journal piece without thinking that the British newspaper formula 'friends of Jim Allchin said', meaning Allchin himself, had a hand in the ideas included in the piece.
