Microsoft and Google- probably the two leading technological websites outside of Apple we have seen thus far- Paul allen who is Microsoft's co-founder writes a novel called Idea Man about his work done at the company. In this he explains how their strategy was to copy Googles ideas. What is the point of copying another companies ideas? I understand that collaboration means two heads are better than one, but I can't believe that the ultimate strategy all along was to straight up copy their ideas. Getting to know your enemy is one thing, keep your enemies closer- but stealing is a bit over the line, Microsoft

Stealing other companies ideas is not going to put you on the fast track to stardom.
Don't get yourself to hyped up for an idea that may not be anything of what the clientele wants.
I think Microsoft definetely has some work to do with the rise of Apple and Google.
They produce good products, but it seems that they are doing the same shit they did years ago when they took the idea from Apples GUI system and made it their own

It seems to me Microsoft needs to get their shit together and make a product that outshines its competitors instead of copy them
