Bill Gates' original mission for Microsoft of putting "a computer on every desk and in every home" "always bothered"...

Bill Gates' original mission for Microsoft of putting "a computer on every desk and in every home" "always bothered" current CEO Satya Nadella - Microsoft CEO.

“It always bothered me that we confused an enduring mission with a temporal goal,” he mused in an interview with USA TODAY.

yeah well..

Mission accomplished. I have computers coming out of my fucking ears. There are microcontrollers in my MicroSD cards for fucks sake.

Weird that's the exact same statement my company has for their product.

I hate that he's saying the same thing in a way

Sort of, a lot of their new software and services are cross platform and some of their dev tools are more Linux and Mac friendly.

I meant as ideology. They both want more empowerment etc etc.

Bill Gates already achieved that goal years ago. You need to make a new one.

I know but what Nadella says comes down to the same

"To empower every terrorist and every terrorist organisation to achieve more"
>where were you when you realized microsoft empowers isis?

So instead of a real goal, you get something that you can't measure as your goal.

This is why the modern world is failing.

lol are you discussing a CIA/NSA backed project for real?

and steve jobs took all the credit

But Gary Kildall did all the hard work.

both yes

knife manufacturers empower murderers
ban knives

...oh wait, brits are succeeded in it

*brits succeeded

>It always bothered me that we confused an enduring mission with a temporal goal
what a fucking retard

>yeah well..
"Yeah well" what? Nadella is right, it was a temporal goal, not only will you find a computer in every first world house, but multiple. Third world countries even have large mobile computing markets.

Empowerment tho

The subject was more about how one described the future and how the other just put more detail into the promotion of it.

What are he computing market doing out of it?

It's ok rajesh

You can't measure your success and can't measure your failure.
