Steve says some nice things about me and then proceeds to use me as a club that he hits Microsoft over the head with. Thanks, Steve?
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.
Perhaps the reason Steve doesn’t get invited to MS pow-wows is that he’s not relevant any more. It’s a worrying trend that the blogosphere is being used as a pasture to which superannuated MSM columnists are put out when they start believing too much of their own theorising.
