During a talk today at the Zino Zillionaire Investment Forum (I know....), Bob Herbold, the former Microsoft COO was quoted as saying the title of this post. An interesting take on Software + Services perhaps.
Herbold said that Microsoft is hiring plenty of people, but one of the big challenges is that it has not been able to launch profitable new units that complement its existing businesses. Microsoft also faces big hurdles as it attempts to transition to delivering software over the Internet, with Herbold calling it an "unnatural act" to ask 700 million people to upgrade their software through installations or buying new PCs. He said software "wants to come from a server."
