Right - and the Polish Cavalry were confident in their ability to repel the Nazi Blitzkrieg in 1939. Windows had its day but that day is no more. It’s a new world out there.
RE: Windows had its day but that day is no more. It’s a new world out there.
I am not a worshipper or fan of any company. I invest based on what I see on the market.
I have a love/hate relationship with Microsoft and always have. I’d alternately praise and curse them based on how inconvenienced I am ( or base don how pleased I am with what they do with my complaints).
All I can say is for the past 20 years, I’ve learned one lesson -— DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE Microsoft and their ability to compete.
From Word processors to networking to office applications to games to browsers to development tools to operating system clunkers like Windows 95 and Windows Vista to Games... people tend to curse and ridicule Microsoft in the beginning only to eat their words a few years later.
Count them -— Novell Netware, WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3 Netscape, Borland Development Systems, etc. what do they share in common? They were all eventually buried by Microsoft who came later.
Maybe Mobile applications are different... but then, maybe not.
