Let's See Microsoft Innovate Its Way Out of This
,----[ Quote ]
| Actually, that may be the first bit of sense out of Microsoft since the Yahoo
| thing first emerged. That is exactly what Microsoft is good at: identifying
| market leaders in interesting new tech markets, then systematically
| destroying them. In fact, Microsoft is probably better at it than maybe any
| company in history. Netscape, Lotus, WordPerfect, Novell, Real Networks ...
| there's a long list of companies that invented something that Microsoft then
| copied and took down. And Windows, of course, was a copy of what Apple and
| Xerox were doing. Now Microsoft's Zune is taking aim at the iPod.

Microsoft doesn't get mad; it gets even
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is plotting its next move after being rebuffed by Yahoo. Analysts
| say there's no easy way for Microsoft to cut into Google's business, but they
| don't know about the never-say-die attitude in Redmond.
|
| For starters, the next version of Internet Explorer won't recognize Web
| addresses with two straight O's in them. And Google execs can forget about
| counting their money in Excel. Microsoft is never going to let it calculate
| bajillions of dollars.

Accused software pirate denounces Microsoft
