How to Work like Bill Gates
June 15th, 2006
Bill recently gave a little insight into the tools and methods he uses to go about his workday in an article for Fortune magazine. Since all the tools mentioned are basically available to all of MSR Consultings retainer clients I thought it would be a voyeuristic opportunity to see how they stack up when taking advantage of those tools.
On the other hand, businesses that have not based their infrastructure on a Microsoft platform may wonder how they could achieve some semblance of the described workflow without all of that wonderful (but sometimes prohibitively expensive for some shops) Microsoft software. There is a decent article here on using various open source and free tools to accomplish some of the same things. Granted it’s not nearly as cohesive a solution, and it would require more intimate technology knowledge to get set up and running, but having options is always a good thing.
