Irony

I still remember that the public claim of Microsoft's notoriously grueling intervieiwng process.... to scout for the most creative thinkers from the merely brilliant. They invented challenging riddles and puzzles and identified talents who can solve questions with creative and effective analytical thinking.

But what an irony that they turn out to be not so great of a company after all, even with all the talents that they have recruited, they failed to create anything new but everything that turns out to be a failure, citing Vista and Zune as examples. They tend to be the follower instead of idea generator.. what I see is a company struggling to survive, with no killer apps in the roadmap. We'll see how Windows 7 will turn out, and I really doubt if they can gain market share in the mobile market amid Andriod and Mac are already gaining a foothold in this area...
