By being educated. Something you might be sorely lacking if your spelling is an indicator. Yes, I am a fan of his success also. Thanks to Bill Gates I get to type this.

[...] 這位創業家，就是上周也來到台灣的BubbleShare創辦人Albert Lai。這裡是他與比爾蓋茲午餐的照片集以及文章。關於這場「超酷午餐」的沿伸閱讀還有Michael Arrington的文章、照片及Robert Scoble的文章，不用說，當天這三位年輕人在感動之餘，也盡力將自己畢生所見所聞全部一點不漏的貢獻給了比爾蓋茲。 [...]

[...] Bored wasn’t the right word at all to describe my lunch with Bill Gates last week. Rather, I think we failed to engage his interest on a very deep level. He didn’t know much about us, we were too much in shock to ask real questions. Given time, I think the conversation would have improved. [...]

The only “cloud storage” around is the one obscuring Bill’s thinking. The longer Microsoft stays in denial, the harder it will be for them to catch up – maybe never.

Software as a service is here to stay, and with bandwidth becoming a commodity, there are a lot of reasons why an online application works better. My storage cloud could be as simple as a UBS drive. Why do I need Microsoft for that? Furthermore, the word processing functionality part is largely becoming an insignificant commodity.

Interesting how Microsoft came along to replace Wang (over time and by eliminating other PC software competitors) with the next generation word processor. Apparently the same thing will happen to Microsoft as the fat PC becomes as irrelevant as the minicomputer.

[...] I attended Mix ‘06 this week and had a pretty damn good time, too. Dave Winer says that the conference didn’t make much of an impression in the blogosphere, and that Microsoft only “went with safe bloggers” at the event. I’m not sure what this means because anyone could attend, and I assume Dave was even offered a free pass. So Dave, why didn’t you just go? You could have taught us softies a lesson in real blogging.

[...] Will things like AjaxWrite have an impact on Microsoftâ€™s Office revenues over time? Yeah, it must. Even so, Bill Gates says that he just doesnâ€™t understand our infatuation with thin client versions of Word. That may be true, but at some point I expect Microsoft to come out with ad supported versions of their own clientsâ€¦theyâ€™ll just wait, of course, until they have to. And Google has pushed the envelope with its recent acquisition of Writely. [...]

[...] Est-ce que cela aura un impact sur les revenues de Microsoft? Oui certainement mÃªme si Bill Gates dÃ©clare ne pas comprendre cet engouement pour ce genre de solution. Il est Ã peu prÃ¨s certain que Microsoft rÃ©gira au moment oÃ¹ ce genre de solutions sera adoptÃ©e par une part significative du marchÃ© en proposant par exemple une version en ligne de word gratuite financÃ©e par la publicitÃ©. Google entre temps Ã pris un peu d’avance en rachetant Writely. [...]

MIX 06: Mashing Up Web 2.0 and Live Software

The much-anticipated MIX 06 event finished up yesterday in Las Vegas and I’ve been pondering the meaning of the whole thing since. Without question Microsoft is holding out an olive branch to the concepts in the Web 2.0 practice set (SPARK bein
