The sheer scale and ambition of Amazon was only possible due to Bezo’s long term thinking and ability and willingness to invest in their delivery infrastructure. It is altering the US economy in a ton of ways. This also doesn’t even take into account his Blue Origin space business.

Date: January 16th, 2019 3:03 AM Author: razzle-dazzle preventive strike ceo exactly.
pcs were definitely going to happen, there are competing gui operating systems even today. no one really expected a company as dominant as amazon, and it certainly wasn't inevitable. look at all the retail bankruptcies and dead malls which are a direct result of amazons dominance.
amazon might not be a huge technical achievement compared to microsoft, but it's a much more spectacular business achievement. microsoft, in a lot of ways, has floundered for years despite it's market dominance. aside from windows, office and xbox their products are not leaders despite microsoft having every advantage.
microsoft had it's lunch eaten by apple, facebook, netflix, amazon, good and many others despite having every possible advantage over them. how many companies have beaten amazon at anything? despite amazon having *way* more competitors than amazon since it's "just a shitty online store that a lot of people tried". |
|
Date: January 16th, 2019 3:06 AM Author: cerebral bisexual yarmulke While not a market leader, Microsoft's Azure is now a leading enterprise cloud platform. Number two after AWS.
Amazon did not succeed in the smart phone business. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2019 3:16 AM Author: razzle-dazzle preventive strike ceo microsoft has no 2 and 3 products in lots of things.
surface?
social networks (MSN? so.cal?)
bing?
internet explorer and edge?
games for windows live (compared to steam)?
mobile OS?
my point is that in the 90s and early 2000s microsoft was the most dominant tech company, and despite having every advantage they were not able to capitalize on their position and failed to develop any market leading product (except, arguably xbox). |

these were heavily funded, heavily advertised, widely used behemoths. and google beat the fuck out of all of them by being clearly better.
then google maps did the same thing to mapquest which was hugely dominant and had even reached "verb" status. "hold on before we leave let me mapquest it real quick." |
