The natural ecosystem (our "real" (honest) environment) is perhaps the "modern" key to success on Earth (for all lives diversity and life here on earth)? Why are we having all these "health" problems? Is it perhaps because of the quality of the environment or quality of food or air or water along a river in China? or "working conditions" in China?? Did our perfect "OS" cause the "virus" in some very very abstract sense?
...?
The problems all started a long time ago...?
perhaps it was "back then"... in the year 2000?
The first “modern” problems for Microsoft started in January of 2000. (see graph data of MSFT)... Microsoft (has been) and (is) perhaps the "worlds" most "important" company as measured by total market capitalization (and its been that way... for years and years?). Many people talk about computer virus today more then they talk about "real virus"?
Bill Gates was replaced as CEO in 2000 and made a new position for himself as “Chief Software Architect” and started working with various other companies on a project known the “Trusted Computing Platform Alliance” and “digital rights management” (DRM). By April 3, 2000, a judgment was forced down in the case of United States v. Microsoft Corp., calling the company an "abusive monopoly." Microsoft later settled with the U.S. Department of Justice 4 full years later?. In March of 2004 the European Union brought antitrust legal action against the company, citing it abused its dominance with the Windows OS, resulting in a judgment of €497 million ($613 million) and requiring Microsoft to produce new versions of Windows without Windows Media Player.
The year 2000 was also the year that Pope John Paul II apologizes for the wrongdoings by members of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the ages. In year 2000 there was also rare conjunction of seven celestial bodies (Sun, Moon, planets Mercury–Saturn) occurs during the new moon? And there was also computer virus that spreads quickly throughout the world?
This all happened prior to the Dot-com bubble in 2001, ending a bull market run that has lasted over 17 years. The NASDAQ Composite Index reaches an all-time high of 5,048. Two weeks later, the S&P 500, reach their peaks.
Companies back then where actually quite small by todays standards. When America Online announces an agreement to purchase Time Warner for $162 billion (the largest-ever corporate merger) it was a big deal. This is maybe still the largest “takeover” ever? Most of the largest mergers in the 2010’s have been 20 to 30 billion dollar range. With the top few all still being communications related in the 100’s of billions of dollar range.
The serious problems didn’t really hit Microsoft “stock” until about December of 2007 although they started when everything else was crashing Dot-com bubble in 2001. Its ironic because Microsoft “legal” problems where so similar to the huge overvaluations and “dot-com-mergers”. In Silicon Valley California many buildings (in fact more buildings are empty) and are still empty to this day from what happened in 2001.. for example a “drive down” 1st street in Silicon Valley has a vacancy rate of 30% in many parts because no one can afford to rent in Silicon Valley peninsula (and no companies have ever ever been able to rent near downtown San Jose California making the city often very very quiet for one of the largest cities in California?)
In September of 2007 the same year that Microsoft “fell hard” during its 12 year downrun from 2000 to 2012 – The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Are there such a thing as “indigenous” operating systems other then Linux? By Christmas of 2007 the two Pablo Picasso paintings (portrait) is stolen from the São Paulo Museum of Art and also in 2007 the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia join the Schengen “border-free zone”. Was a “border-free zone” the end of DOS?
Things started to get much better for Microsoft in 2012, this was the same year that Barack Obama was reelected President of the United States. The stock price from 2012 ($25) went to (almost?) $150 by 2020. However the biggest changes in Microsoft was from 1987 to 2000 when the stock went from about “zero” to $40 per share. (see exponential graph) which is a little more helpful and easy to understand.
What are your thoughts on the future of a disk operating system or DOS?
Most importantly why is the GDP for the USA about the same as Microsofts “worst years”?
Today Microsoft maybe the “worlds most important company” in terms of “stocks?” How can Microsoft become a smaller company and perhaps change to help the world by being smaller? What would be the “genius” idea? What if that idea doesn’t intimately in a “universal sense” involve “tech” and technology?
How do we focus less on computers and more on the Earth? If we compare MSFT to amazon we notice that amazon is buying into "foods" while Microsoft really has never made any major effort for investment in the future of foods or space (perhaps)?
