Perhaps you're right, but Joel Sapolsky explicitly argues to the contrary: "I know Microsoft; worked there for three years. I know the kind of people that wrote this document. Bill Gates almost certainly had a very significant role in it; that's why he gave up the CEO position, so he could work on this stuff. I don't think that Microsoft created this document because they needed some vaporware. These are super-smart people. I actually think that they earnestly think they're inventing the future, as well as they know how."
