Microsoft’s Sacred Cash Cow

3 Jun, 2004 at 12:43pm ET Article published in Tech

A former Microsoft employee says addiction to Windows revenue, mediocre products, and missed opportunities could doom Seattle’s most successful company.

I know I’m not alone. If you’re like me, you’ve invested in technology to become more efficient and productive but mutter about the many frustrations of the digital lifestyle. Technology is my hobby as well as my job, so I regularly ponder why software giant Microsoft Corp., which has more than $56 billion in cash, hasn’t solved more of these problems.

He's preaching to the choir at that point.
