‘9 Things Microsoft Does Right’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “9 Things Microsoft Does Right”.
Mark Hachman says, “”Microsoft sucks.” Too many times, the conversation stops there.
Yes, Microsoft gets plenty of criticism, much of it justified, on everything from its nasty attacks on Linux to the failings of its latest operating system. Along the way, Microsoft has helped write its own narrative as a money-grubbing monopolist – old, litigious, out of touch. For Pete’s sake, it took years for Bill Gates to recognize the potential of the Internet.
But that’s only part of the story. We too often overlook the many things that Microsoft does right: its philosophy of open research; its willingness to adopt and contribute to open source; even its willingness to admit when it’s wrong”.
