Is Microsoft Money Crushing Microsoft?

This is an interesting, if somewhat long-winded, article on the problems that can plague a company with $56 billion in cash on hand ...

The latest Seattle Weekly has an article by a former Microsoft project manager titled Microsoft's Sacred Cash Cow. It argues that Microsoft, addicted to its Windows and Office revenue, is stifling innovation within the company: 'new, better ideas that would take business away from Windows or Office don't really have a chance at Microsoft.' Apple, in contrast, has embraced Open Source and is delivering a better consumer experience.
