On the internet, in 1998: If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we're toast. But if it is, we're golden.
On the Network Computer (NC), which was intended to dislodge the PC, Windows and Microsoft's market dominance (it failed): The NC is clearly part of our strategy to dethrone Microsoft.

The failure of the NC: Idea could simply have been ahead of its time, as at the NC's launch in 1996, the typical home Internet connection was only a 28.8 kbit/s modem dialup. This was simply insufficient for the delivery of executable content. The world wide web itself was not considered mainstream until its breakout year, 1998.
RESULT:
It was incompetence of Larry himself that he could not make calculations during 1996 and 1998. He himself is proven stupid through his own quotes. If you have seen Wolf Of Wallstreet ,,, "Sell me this pen" .. you make ur product needed by masses to shove down the throat of masses. Larry failed to sell that pen!!! simple as that. Where as MS had only DOS vs GUI of IBM but M$ made u buy that pen!!! simple as that !!!...
