Where it matters, clearly:
Paradigm-busting companies like Microsoft and Google don’t come along very often in high tech - maybe once a generation. What’s different this time is the speed with which Google came to the fore. The Google guys, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, pulled off the same tricks in less than six years and before they turned 30. Their company logged its first billion in revenue far faster than Microsoft did. It hired its 1,000th employee far sooner than Microsoft did. It made its founders billionaires far more quickly than Microsoft did.
