A Beautiful Mind: Microsoft over Google

There is an Oscar winning film directed by Ron Howard, titled “A Beautiful Mind,” where mathematician John Nash develops his Nobel Prize winning game theory.

Bill Gates (founder and Chairman of Microsoft) recently spoke at the University of Chicago, and I was most interested in two of the themes in his presentation.

    While both companies boast their share of arrogance, Microsoft wins that prize by a country mile. It is not customer-friendly at all, and that culture will undercut any alternative technology to which it aspires.

    At this point, Google is the better investment, and will be for the next decade.
