"The Internet has been operating now for 10 years," Gates said. Billy boy, you just don't get it, do you?
Microsoft didn't invent the Internet in 1998...

"The Internet has been operating now for 10 years," Gates said.
???? I suppose he's speaking very loosely of the mass audience on the WorldWideWeb, but that is an extraordinarily inaccurate statement for a leading digital technologist to utter. The web has been around for 15 years and the "Internet" goes back decades, which he knows very well. So he must mean by "Internet" the mass phenomenon of tens and then hundreds of millions of people on the web.

"The Internet has been operating now for 10 years," Gates said. "The second 10 years will be very different." Internet Explorer 1.0 was released in 1995, 13 years ago. I guess it just displayed an hourglass for the first three years until the Internet was started ten years ago.

The big break through in terms of the general public awareness was Netscape which came out in 1994.

The infamous BSOD is caused by incompatible hardware drivers. Poorly written software can also crash Windows.

The Internet has generally been an area where Microsoft has been reduced to playing catch-up. What makes anybody think that Bill Gates has any particularly valuable insights about its future?

As long as he or Microsoft are not in any way involved in it, it won’t die within a week.

Microsoft and Gates were late to the Internet party. Did he mention that, too?

Did you hear about the four computer engineers who were carpooling to work? One day their car broke down. In order to fix it, they all got out of the car and then got back in again. :^)
