The Microsoft mesh mess
,----[ Quote ]
| No newbies are entering that fray since they will get killed, so they talk
| about and promote the ideas of software as a service, cloud computing, grid
| computing, mesh computing or software on demand -- anything, as long as
| Microsoft isn't in it.
|
| Since there is no buzz around Microsoft's part of the industry (which to any
| outsider looks like a license to print money), the company feels obliged to
| think about jumping ship to do what all the cool companies are doing. It's
| like they're in high school.

| Microsoft and others are confusing the software with the delivery mechanism.
| Worse, they are associating the success of the product with the mechanism,
| rather than associating the success with the software and its functionality.

| Unfortunately they aren’t even close to
| being finished. Mac support? Coming in the future. Nokia support? Unclear.
| iPhone support? Ask Steve Jobs (translation: will be very limited due to
| Apple’s complete control of that platform). Firefox support? Yes! Linux
| support? What’s that?
