What do Free and Open Source Software Leaders Think of Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| No user of free and open source software (FOSS) can escape having an opinion
| about Microsoft. Microsoft products and technologies represent what FOSS
| users have left behind. Some consider it increasingly irrelevant, and others
| a shadowy figure comparable to Satan in the Middle Ages or the Soviet Union
| during the Cold War. Yet, no matter how members of the FOSS community regard
| Microsoft, all of us have well-defined opinions on the subject that we can
| express eloquently at short notice.

Microsoft earnings post-mortem: The cash cows quiver
,----[ Quote ]
| I can’t help but wonder if the lackluster Windows/Office results also can be
| attributed to Microsoft brass’s complete and crazy obsession with Google (and
| taking over Yahoo) has resulted in no one minding the Windows store. Kevin
| Johnson, the head of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services division seems to be so
| laser-focused on the online-ad business these days that he almost seems to
| have forgotten Microsoft is still in the software business, too.
|
| Microsoft execs’ claims about walking away from the Yahoo deal are nothing
| more than bluster. A protracted hostile takeover bid is just going to
| distract not just employees in Microsoft’s online services business, but
| company management, too. It’s not a pretty picture.
