Innovation Centers

 
If Steve eventually succeeds in wrestling Yahoo form Jerry, much of the Yahoo magic will slip through his fingers. Internet audiences are fickled and fleeting, think of Facebook as the hot TV show of this session.
 
A hostel takeover bid one week after Bill Gates gave his Creative Capitalism speech at Davos is a sad irony. The Lawyers and stock brokers will benefit generously from this deal, but what about the developers in the Microsoft community?
 
We have a network of MVP's, RD's, User Groups and community bloggers, a little creative capitalism could go a long way with our help. Steve, why not invest those billions to seed incubator innovation centers in Michigan, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virgina and Texas?
 
With our talented social network we can put the exclamation point after Windows Live and by stimulating the economy Microsoft will receive recognition and praise rather then the usual ridicule.
