| The Question That Revealed Bill Gate’s True Opinion on Google |
Quantum X, Inc. is proud to have a representative at the 2008 SharePoint conference held last March 3 in Seattle, Washington, USA through the presence of one of its managing partners, Dux Raymund Sy.
Mr. Sy displayed the ability to ask the right questions at the right time which is an indispensable skill for everyone.
One of the highlights of the said event is when Sy popped the question to Microsoft chairman Bill Gates regarding the new Google tools that would open a big door of competition to SharePoint. Sy asked: What is Microsoft’s plan to be ahead of the competition and more importantly gaining better adoption at end user?
Bill Gates coolly responded by saying that Microsoft is not threatened by Google and that he can hardly remember Google Talk. Gates also emphasized that Google’s consumer-based model has little understanding on the special needs of businesses.
His answer was met with laughter and applause from the crowd as he said, "Its [Google's] productivity tools do not have the features and responsiveness of ours. In terms of Google tools, the day they announced them was their best day, really. Remember Google Talk? I can hardly remember its name. In contrast, SharePoint was about end-users and the ability to get things done.”
The genuine and spontaneous answer from the billionaire computer genius would not have been heard that day if not for the excellent question asked by Mr. Dux Raymund Sy.
