Microsoft Missing the Boat on Mobile?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday's Microsoft Watch had an incisive article about Microsoft's failure
| to compete in the mobile phone marketplace.
|
| [...]
|
| What do you bet that Microsoft comes up with a new "improved" release of XP
| Home that has features deliberately designed to block Chrome? This is, after
| all, what they did against Netscape in 1996, with Windows NT Workstation
| allowing no more than 10 TCP/IP connections so that it couldn't be used with
| Netscape web servers.
|
| But this kind of backward-looking, defensive competition doesn't do more than
| buy you time. Yes, Microsoft killed Netscape, but they missed the deeper,
| stronger competition that would come from true web applications like Google.
| The future is not like the past, and any strategy that is designed to protect
| the past will eventually fail.
