Microsoft is Dead?

Read the article Microsoft is Dead by Paul Graham.
I wouldn’t agree that the Desktop is dead. As much as I like gmail and understand the usefulness of web applications, there is no reason to believe that someone cannot come out with a better client UI running on the desktop. I just have the feeling that Paul may be underestimating Bill Gates. :evil:

    The Future of Web Startups by Paul Graham.

    The greatest value of universities is not the brand name or perhaps even the classes so much as the people you meet. If it becomes common to start a startup after college, students may start trying to maximize this. Instead of focusing on getting internships at companies they want to work for, they may start to focus on working with other students they want as cofounders.

    What students do in their classes will change too. Instead of trying to get good grades to impress future employers, students will try to learn things. We’re talking about some pretty dramatic changes here.
