Recently bought a new laptop w/ Windows8-I’ll never buy another Microsoft product again-my next ‘puter will be, if not an Apple, something else-FYBG!
Google may work for some, but I don’t want my stuff in the cloud. Sadly Microsoft is going that way too with renting Office.
For the past few years I’ve thought that Microsoft is pretty much just ‘sitting there’ and waiting to be replaced by ‘something’. They seem to try to do it all, and end up sucking at just about everything. They need to narrow their focus and do those things better, if it isn’t too late already.
As long as you don’t mind Google mining the crap out of every document you own or create and selling that info...
M$ deserves to die.
$24.5 billion yearly income. Microsoft is dying. Celebrate!
$24.5 billion QUARTERLY income. Microsoft is dying. Celebrate!
Google makes all of its money by selling your information all over the world. Who cares what their business software loos like?
Did I mention NEVER!?
I wouldn’t send Gates any flowers yet in anticipation of the death of MS. As long as Apple hardware costs twice as much and more than most MS based hardware, a majority of consumers won’t give them a second look.
And Google is so intrusive and tries to constantly require registration to use any app at all, it makes me consider an MS based tablet and phone just to get away from Android and Google intrusiveness.
Let me get this straight: the author notes anecdotal evidence from his wife and daughter, and that is the standard by which he claims MS will be crushed?
Really?
Microsoft signed up INSTANTLY for any kind of spying on America that was pushed across the table their way.
I hope companies stand atop Microsoft’s tender corporate throat and jump up and down, and gradually stamp their windpipe into utter oblivion.
I really want Bill to watch on helplessly, and see his entire empire burn to the ground.
The Cloud is simply a place that PUBLICLY holds your files. They are on the internet for any one that has the knowledge to see. Google has the knowledge and has never shown any desire to do anything but mine for your data to sell to anyone at the right price.
Let’s not forget that Obama is in the process of GIVING the control of the internet to the only organization less effective and trustworthy the Federal Government. The UN.
People have prophesied the demise of Microsoft for so long, yet it’s still going strong. They started to incorporate Skype in their Outlook, etc., which give them longer life.
NSA finds this development double plus good!
Funny I have installed Firefox add-ons just to block Google in it’s never ending quest to spy on me. Screw Google and everything it promotes.
Not gonna happen. Engineering tooling, for better or worse, is heavily invested in Windows. And I imagine Win9 will make the current Win8 pain go away. So it will continue Win7 -> Win9 with Google doing the cool app-let stuff.
