Microsoft Seinfeld Strategy to Save Vista is Pathetic
,----[ Quote ]
| If Microsoft really wanted to improve its reputation, they might try throwing
| that $300M at improving Vista and letting the market decides what it likes
| and doesn't like. Instead, it makes a lame attempt to save its reputation
| through PR and ad campaigns and paper over a weak product.

Intel & Microsoft Killed the $100 Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The article points that the stand taken by Intel and Microsoft is similar to
| the stand by large drug companies who, instead of working for the illnesses
| that plague the poor, (such as malaria) choose to focus on low-volume,
| high-margin drugs for cancer, heart ailments and diabetes.

Borland fights big brain suck
,----[ Quote ]
| Fierce competitors Microsoft Corp. and Borland International, Inc. have moved
| their battle from the networked desktop to the courtroom.
|
| Borland last week filed suit against Microsoft, alleging that the Redmond,
| Wash., giant has been systematically recruiting Borland developers in an
| attempt to eliminate the company as a competitor. Microsoft and Borland are
| rivals in the budding Java and Internet tools markets.
|
| [...]
|
| The suit alleges that Microsoft's Bill Gates himself sweetened the pot. Gross
| eventually accepted the offer, which included an additional half-million
| dollar bonus, last September.
|
| A noticeably angry Borland CEO Del Yocam complained about the nerve of
| Microsoft. "How flagrant, driving limos up to the front of the company. That
| is what riles you," Yocam complained. Yocam said his No. 1 goal is to get
| Microsoft to stop recruiting.
