  In the seventies and eighties you just didn't see Japanese cars on the road in Michigan. The Big 3 execs all drove each others products but never a Toyota or a Honda.

  They could see on paper they were losing market share to the Japanese but it didn't seem real to them until it was too late.

  Reading Scoble's comments about not seeing Windows Phones until landing in Seattle made me think maybe the same market blindness is possibly happening to the Microsoft execs.
