‘Microsoft Has Lost Its `Audacity,’ Former Top Exec Says’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Microsoft Has Lost Its `Audacity,’ Former Top Exec Says”.
Dan Lyons says, “Joachim Kempin joined Microsoft in 1983 and spent almost 20 years at the company. For much of that time he oversaw Microsoft’s relations with the company’s hardware partners. He helped orchestrate Microsoft’s rise to industry dominance, but also crafted some of the practices that landed Microsoft in hot water with the Department of Justice – leading to the historic trial that began in 1998 and was settled in 2001. Kempin retired in 2002, and now, after a decade of watching Microsoft lose its way, he has published a book, Resolve and Fortitude: Microsoft’s `Secret Power Broker’ Breaks His Silence, in which he reminisces about the old days and blasts his old company for losing the “audacity” that once made it great”.
