Mini-Microsoft giving up on Windows Mobile, getting iPhone
,----[ Quote ]
| On the eve of the Windows 7 launch, the
| anonymous "Mini-Microsoft" employee blogger
| has resurfaced to offer his take on the
| state of the company, the new operating
| system, CEO Steve Ballmer, and more. It's a
| mixed bag, but the part that stands out most
| is this: Mini is getting an iPhone. And he's
| not happy about it.

The Decline and Fall of the Idealistic Spark
,----[ Quote ]
| The tipping point is when the organization
| and its leaders are Always Right, even when
| they're wrong. The problem with overt self-
| confidence is that it creates a culture
| wherein the leaders have no responsibility
| towards the membership and the community-at-
| large. A organization that never says, "We
| were wrong. We will fix this. We will change
| our behavior to avoid the recurrence of this
| problem, and we will look for the cause" â
| whether that happens in a small open source
| project or at Microsoft or a [Pick a Famous
| Cult You Love To Hate] â will always crumble
| from within. Some companies and
| organizations learn the lessons of their
| arrogance â we could argue who ought to be
| on that list â and survive. But that, too,
| comes at a painful cost.

Why the WinTel axis is crumbling
,----[ Quote ]
| Questioned by one Charlie Demerjian about Android, Chandrasekher said Intel
| was keen to enable all comers to run operating systems on MIDs powered by its
| chips. "It's not that we don't support Windows, he said separately, "we're
| just following the action" (in the marketplace).
|
| And in MIDs at least, that action is increasingly moving away from Windows
| and towards more open source offerings and that, in no small measure, is
| thanks to Moblin2.
