Joel Spolsky tells us why MSFT is doomed...

...and it has nothing to do with Linux. (Or Open Source more generally.)

Great quote, which Joel puts on his front page:

“There are two opposing forces inside Microsoft, which I will refer to, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as The Raymond Chen Camp and The MSDN Magazine Camp.”

Geeky, but very much worth it if that's your kink.

I'm on the exact same list. I started the article but I haven't been able to finish it yet. Work is such a distraction.

"Work is such a distraction."

True.

But it's funny, because I've been reading Joel for years, and picked up on Raymond within a few weeks of his starting his blog. I forget what the old URL was, but he's moved once.

It's a great article, though, as Joel tends to be.
