<P>Here's an Outstanding essay on the end of Microsoft’s reign over the computer industry by <A href="http://www.paulgraham.com/microsoft.html">Paul</A><IMG border="0" align="right" alt="microsoft_dead.jpg" src="http://indianinside.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/microsoft_dead.jpg" /> Graham co-founders of <FONT><A href="http://ycombinator.com/">Y Combinator</A>(it funds startups).</FONT></p> <P>He starts from how Microsoft started after IBM and how it monopolized. But this monopoly is gone now. The time has come , <FONT>No one is even afraid of Microsoft anymore. They still make lot of money - but they aren't dangerous. </FONT></p> <P>He writes what killed Microsoft , they are - Google , Gmail , <FONT>broadband Internet , </FONT><FONT>OS X.</FONT> He suggests what can save Microsoft from dying away !!!..  He nicely adds at the end</p> <BLOCKQUOTE><P>"<FONT>I already know what the reaction to this essay will be.  Half the readers will say that Microsoft is still an enormously profitable company, and that I should be more careful about drawing conclusions based on what a few people think in our insular little "Web 2.0" bubble.  The other half, the younger half, will complain that this is old news."</FONT> </p> </BLOCKQUOTE>
