> Yet already the knives are out for Vista, a system that Microsoft
> executives admit will be the last of its kind, as their company finally
> gets to grips with the internet age. Vista is meant to be slicker and safer
> than its predecessors, but even after a two-year delay it is “not really
> ready”, Michael Silver, an analyst at Gartner, said. Companies hoping to
> switch in the past couple of weeks could not get hold of the additional
> software needed for it to work with their printers.

> The changes have put an outsider, Ray Ozzie, the designer behind Lotus
> Notes and an internet expert, into the key role of chief software
> architect, Mr Gates’s former title.

> Once installed in the post, Mr Ozzie wrote an internal company memo that
> mapped out the challenges that face Microsoft. The message was clear: get
> Google, get with the internet and wean Microsoft off Windows as we know it
