Compuserve had the very best national and international dial-up network, EMAIL and many valuable support forums and databases. They could have easily converted their proprietaty screen formats to HTML and web based presentation but they didn't see the need for it. It is a problem with most leaders in any industry, they become complacent and don't adapt well to changes. Bill Gates has stated for 15 yrs of so, that his biggest fear concerning Microsoft was that they would fail to adapt quickly in a rapidly changing marketing place. Large companies become like a supertanker, very difficult and slow when they want to change directions. The way they handled Vista is an example of this problem. I want MS to have strong and viable competition, but I would hate to see them go out of business. Millions of of long term Windows supporters have decide Mac is superior to Windows (including Harry. Vista's most vocal supporter). They are also willing to pay a substantial upcharge for a Mac, it highlights the real and perceived problems of Windows. If they don't' change their "bull in a china shop" approach to marketing, they will become another Prodigy, Compuserve and AOL. |
