Bill Gates Predicts Future in 1995 (usdoj.gov)

A copy of Bill Gate's 1995 internal memo to Microsoft executives, "The Internet Tidal Wave". Couldn't find this posted elsewhere so I thought I'd throw it up here. Pretty interesting how accurate his predictions were. Possibly more interesting that Microsoft failed to capitalize on almost all of them.

Pretty interesting how accurate his predictions were, in everything from internet domination, the death of services like AOL, free ad-funded content, P2P, and search.

Possibly more interesting that Microsoft failed to really capitalize on almost all of them.
