Why Softw tware are Is Eatin ing g The World rld
By MARC ANDREESEN August 20, , 2011 11 This week, Hewlett-Packard (where I am on the board) announced that it is exploring jettisoning its struggling PC business in favor of investing more heavily in software, where it sees better potential for growth. Meanwhile Google plans to buy up the cellphone handset maker Motorola Mobility. Both moves surprised the tech world. But both moves are also in line with a trend I‘ve observed one that make me optimistic about the future groth of the American and world economies, despite the recent turmoil in the stock market. In short, software is eating the world. More than 10 years after the peak of the 1990d Twitter are ntro in Silicon„Software alone is a commodity. There is nothing stopping anyone from copying the feature set, making it better, cheaper and faster.“
What about those?

Chicken-and-egg solving strategies
1. Enter with significant pre-invest (e.g. XBOX) 2. Build a cooperative strategy (e.g. Android) 3. Act as producer (e.g. iPhone) 4. Use an evolution strategy (e.g. AirBnB) 5. Subsidize high-value users (e.g. UBER) 6. Target a user group to fill both sides (e.g. Etsy) 7. Provide single user utility (e.g. early Instagram)
