And that makes you think, if this guy knew it is coming and was heading the most influential and powerful software company at that time, why did Microsoft fail to build on this vision?

Have they really failed?

I reason they have not. Bing, the .NET framework, the OOP languages and IDE, Interet Explorer, XBOX, etc. are all mentioned in that memo, and are succesful divisions/products.

I don't know of any other company with such track record (if there is, please mention it).

Not a fanboy, though.
