- Thankyou Gartner / Any truth to Gates Leaving Microsoft
-
This article is a fair one if you read Gartner's comment. The law suits appear more related to strategy than to legal standing.
The idea of a strategic law suit is that you know it will eventually fail or be settled without relevancy but it buys you time.
Sometimes delay has value and that is especially true if you have put an evil plan in motion that needs time to play out. You see this in Seattle neighborhoods when the city wants to change a zoning. Some slum lord will SLAP a suit claiming loss of property value and it goes on and on until the property is milked of rent value by deferred maintenance and then the complex mysteriously burns.
Today the news out of Seattle is that Bill Gates has had it with Microsoft and wants to git out completely. This is the feeling among Microsoft employees apparently and part of the moral problem - if not the problem with moral. However, my information is second hand, not from an employee but rather a day traider with employee friends. But it makes sence. Can others comment?
Bill has shown very little interest in getting the view ahead correct - the entire blackberry phenom being a good example - and more interest in family maters (perhaps crime family maters) outside of Microsoft preocupy.
