In fact, the flawed Ford-Gates analogy is a perfect metaphor for what's wrong with Stross' book.
Had Stross written his book next year, he would have had a whole new story line: how Microsoft was or was not able to translate its dominance in personal computers to the Internet.
Microsoft doesn't seem like the kind of place that would fight new wars with old-war strategies, but it is insightful to see just how little of the Microsoft that Stross saw was focused on the Net, and how much was focused on old-fashioned software-delivery systems.
To his credit, Stross does grasp what's right at Microsoft: the hard-boiled meritocracy that makes rich those who contribute to it; Bill Gates' prediction that consumers, not just large businesses, would jump at the chance to own computers; and his--and his company's--driving desire to outsmart and outfox the competition.
Had the writer drawn the obvious parallels, he would have run the risk of endorsing the Justice Department's case against the monopolist Microsoft, a case Stross spends almost the entire book debunking.
