Brad Silverberg: Microsoft's Price Problem

Good interview here with ex-Microsoft exec (and current VC) Brad Silverberg. His most useful comment was on open source:

"I don’t think they have figured [open source] out yet...They are struggling with not so much open source, per se, but rather they are no longer the low price solution. In the past Microsoft was the low cost solution and Microsoft was then competing and attacking expensive proprietary systems from below. Now for the first time the tables are turned and it's Microsoft that's being attacked from below by a lower price solution."
