We are in a post PC world, and the guys who led the computer revolution are not all aboard. How did they miss the train? I am referring to Microsoft, the guys who were then when the PC was born, who built an empire and thousands of fortunes leading the most important part of the computer age, software.
Think about it, Bill Gates and Steve Balmer have been playing with tablets for what, 10 years? And I used a version of Windows CE on PDAs, and later Windows for phones came along. They weren't ignorant of it all. Apparently they thought the next revolution was gaming. Thanks for the X-Box. Here is a more expert take on the derelicts in Redmond from John Gruber.
