Microsoft: People In Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones (At Google)
,----[ Quote ]
| But the law of the jungle is: beat your chest and scream from high trees, but
| only if you're the best and you've got the goods. Because if you don't,
| you'll get pounded.
|
| Microsoft's got enough going on without getting into PR fisticuffs with
| Google. Did Bill really need to go after Google Apps at a recent SharePoint
| conference?

| I read that Jason Calacanis thinks Google will have 90% market share in
| search within the next year. I don't know if it's going to be 90%, but I do
| think that Google's share of the search market (at least the English speaking
| search market) will not stop climbing.

Microsoft's DreamSpark – What a Giveaway
,----[ Quote ]
| The rest of the $44.6bn (£22.3bn) deal would be financed with an undisclosed
| amount of credit.
|
| What that means is that it must squeeze as much money as it can from its
| operations to fund that debt and still pay dividends to shareholders, who
| will be looking for some payback from the Yahoo takeover. Giving away
| software is the last thing it would want to do in these circumstances, and
| the DreamSpark announcement shows just how worried it is about the future.
