if you are microsoft, you need to realize that you will never do anything that is going to win over the tech community. Refocus on the young, un-opinionated demographic. These 16-24 year old average college student doesn't care if you ripped off seattle computer company, or if you have a crappy OS, they like your gaming console, so buy some things they are interested in, and make services that bundle with the OS. Ive heard rumours of a socialized OS, this is interesting, this could make $$$. Dont even need 45B.

you know, the more and more i get into this business with my own start up I am realizing this. But because I am not even 20, (1 week, may 8) I equal make this stereotype true atleast on some level.
It boils down to experience. 'kids' as ill even refer to myself as, create these applications, websites, whatever, and they think they can make the millions. Sometimes this is true, but what usually happens if they begin to talk to VC's is they tell them they are not capable to run their own company.

I think people think this because, yes it does happen, but more times than not its people with M.B.A's or a lot of experience that team up with a vet technie to start these.
