Bill Gates will be leaving Microsoft to concentrate on ridding the world of disease, but leaves behind a company that will too have its challenges - namely trying to keep dominance with Google hot on their heels.

Just as Gates, 52, supplanted IBM in the '80s and '90s by banking on personal computers and ensuring they all ran Microsoft operating systems, Google could relegate Microsoft to relative obscurity by cementing itself as the operating system of the web.

And Microsoft's other cash cow, Office, is being threatened by legions of free office suites including Google's online equivalents of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, which are challenging Office's consumer market share and already making inroads into enterprise.

Why...why is that because of this letter?


Letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates
Subject: Problems With My New Computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems,
which I want to bring to your notice.
  1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.
  2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle' but I own a scooter at my home.
  3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.
  4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when will you provide that?
  5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when will you provide the remaining items?
  6. It is surprising that windows says 'My Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that folder?
  7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.
  8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?
  9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.
Regards,
Banta

Last one to Mr. Bill Gates:
