apowerr Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thank god he is leaving. " He has always been an innovator"... yes, and i can fly.... You're right, BASIC for the Altair wasn't innovation at all. You can't say that Gates is directly responsible for everything that is Windows or Office. Nowadays Microsoft is a giant, slow-moving, monolithic dinosaur: Vista and Office aren't produced of Ballmer or Gates, they are produced by the Windows and Office teams. If Gates and Ballmer were to both die today, Microsoft would be fine. BG: And its a money maker, besides, we already have spotlight.. what's one more thing? I'm trying to find a decent link to back up what I'm about to say, but this is the best I could find: An old WinSuperSite article comparing Vista Beta 1 to OS X Tiger Microsoft did not copy spotlight from Apple like you claim. In October of 2003, Microsoft announced that integrated desktop search and indexing would be part of the next Windows. Desktop search When Microsoft announced that it was adding integrated desktop search functionality to Windows Vista (then called Longhorn) in October 2003, the race began. Since then, various companies, including Apple, Copernic, Google, and Yahoo have all released desktop search products and all of them, except for Apple's, are free (Microsoft even got into the game with MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search, see my review). But all of these products have one thing in common: They never would have been announced during 2004 had Microsoft not first revealed that it was making the feature a standard feature of the next Windows. The company's competitors had wisely gambled that Longhorn wouldn't ship on schedule and that their solutions would benefit from time to market. Apple's solution--called Spotlight--is particularly excellent. As I noted in my Mac OS X Tiger review, Spotlight is well-implemented and helps users stop worrying about where files and folders are located in the file system: If you can't find something, simply launch a Spotlight search and, chances are, you're good to go (Figure). In the future, you should do a bit of research before you accuse companies of copying other companies. I'm not saying that Microsoft hasn't copied Apple, but 'desktop search' came straight out'a Redmond Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83048-bill-gates-last-day-at-microsoft/#findComment-591383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
