"[Gabe] running Microsoft? It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity."
But the necessary genetic engineering to save Microsoft from extinction is far more than building a brand new successful company from scratch. What would be the point?
I humbly disagree. Building a company to be the size of Microsoft is not a trivial matter, no matter how you stretch it. You'd need to catch a VERY big wave of innovation.
I'm totally on side that the author is exercising a little "wishful thinking", and changing microsoft would suck, But I'd rather have (very deep seeded) management problem then have to come up with an idea as basic/brilliant as selling software for a profit.
