The question is does enterprise software understand sexy consumer products?
One question from my opinion piece on our conversation with Bill Gates is how much (does)will consumer focusing software affect what happens in the enterprise? While enterprise may not be sexy, it is not static, and there are numerous examples of consumer products moving into enterprise - some by force. In that light, then, if Microsoft isn't sexy, and the products that are moving into Enterprise come from Google and Apple instead, how will that affect the landscape?
I agree that the consumer and enterprise spaces have different focuses. I am not so sure they are mutually independent.
