Microsoft & GenY

There's a good article in TechCrunch today that talks about Microsoft's problems, as seen in their annual report. The article says that GenY users are just bypassing all the overblown MS products in favor of powerful, easy, user-friendly apps. "in Excel 2008, some users might need pivot tables, but vast majority of those that use spreadsheets will never ever need to use them, nor will they ever write a macro, or script in Visual Basic." Hear hear. And btw it's not just GenY that never needs all that stuff.
