I remember talking to Microsoft people at IETF meetings, once they
started to show up. This would be in the early '90s.
The IETF had been going on for some time when they waltzed in, and the
culture clash was apparent; they were not used to a situation where they
didn't own everything. And, they didn't really "get" where that
"internet thing" was going. It felt very much like they were trying to
game the system.
Luck, not vision, plays a huge role in determining success.
