Paul Graham: ‘Microsoft is Dead’

Outstanding essay on the end of Microsoft’s reign over the computer industry:

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.
