Instead of markets always being right, they're actually always groping at trying to find out what the facts are. But they never get it right."

A good business book is more than a cookbook...
Quoted: If you’re reading for the recipe, and just the recipe, you can get through a business book in just a few minutes. But most people who do that get very little out of the experience. Take a look at the widely divergent reviews for The Dip. The people who ‘got it’ understood that it was a book about getting you to change your perspective and thus your behavior. Those that didn’t were looking for bullet points. They wasted their money.

I agree. Microsoft's desire/need to sustain Windows and Office has kept it from fully embracing the power of the Internet.
Quoted: Blodgett is exactly right. As he argues, Microsoft is so focused on sustaining its massively successful core products – Windows and Office – that its approach to the Internet is inherently shackled. It has never fully embraced the dynamic power of the Internet to unleash transformative new business models. Instead, it has used the Internet in a sustaining fashion to supplement its core properties (Internet-based help for Microsoft Word, anyone?), while clinging to web 1.0 platforms like Hotmail.
