Hi Hank,

Confirmation of what we knew intuitively from various blog posts and by observing - eg- the poor % of VFP to .Net conversion.

.Net has kept trying to catch up with existing techs like Java and Flash at the time they were dominating, and just before their decline started.

Whatever Microsoft invested on .Net to preserve the domination of Windows is pure loss today, given the recent strategy shift.

I hope this new strategy will work for ms, though I'm afraid that the area of on-line services is due to a price war, given its limited differential advantage (unique, defensible and sustainable)

Another confirmation of what we often wrote here: Ballmer was all wrong.
