Fireball on the Web
June 23rd, 2004
I’ve been thinking about the rise of the web as an application platform
for a while. But what hadn’t occurred to me until I read Spolsky’s essay
last week is this, which I think is quite remarkable: Microsoft totally
fucked up when they took aim at Netscape. It wasn’t Netscape that was a
threat to Windows as an application platform, it was the web itself.
