Microsoft - done right.

Historically an oxymoron.

Don’t ask me about my Windows phone.

I'll believe that when I hold one and it doesn't take 45 seconds to boot up.

I expect Windows 8 to still be a work in progress when it launches to the public later this year

This is 'doing it right'?

ICS still fails to offer a truly differentiated experience.


This a straw man argument if I ever saw one.

“Dude are you going to get an Android tablet?”

“No dude, its user experience isn’t truly differentiated. Hello? Like, whatever.”

Is Steve Ballmer still running Microsoft? If so, they won't need to worry about approaching monopoly status anytime soon.

I love Microsoft. I make my living with Microsoft. I wish they would give away for free Microsoft Access. It is a great tool that is under used. If it were given away it could launch many a new business and many a new software developer. It would also seed the market for SQL Server as Access databases graduate to a real backend db. And, finally, it would increase dependency on Microsoft products.

MICROSOFT ARE YOU LISTENING?
