I have known of and been an ardent fan of legendary Ray Ozzie & his work for 20 years. He is regarded by nearly all as a software & computer genius. He is nearly universally acclaimed as visionary. He announced his “retirement” last week from Microsoft. More likely he refused to bow to some of the other executive egos. The loss of his genius is of potentially huge portent to MS.
I suggest you Google “Ray Ozzie” to read of his three decade odyssey.
