What will it take for Linux and Open Source to dethrone Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| We are currently in one of the best
| situations ever to think about moving to
| Linux on the desktop. With Windows XPâs end
| of life, many companies are already
| considering upgrading to Windows Vista or 7.
| The user interface has changed, and many
| existing applications arenât compatible. I am
| currently reviewing a list of hundreds of
| applications for compatibility with Windows
| 7 to decide what will have to be upgraded or
| replaced.

Microsoft pricing, mobile, support needs new song and dance

| Microsoft's pricing strategy often has me
| scratching my head. I am befuddled by
| Microsoft's ability to give away tremendous
| amounts of software in some of the partner
| programs like the Action Pack subscription,
| yet individual users are still paying through
| the nose for Windows and Office. It amazes me
| that a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate is
| $319 retail while a 10-user CAL version of
| Server 2008 Standard retails for $1,209 (or
| $120.09 per user). Wouldn't it be better if
| Microsoft wooed the consumer market with more
| competitive pricing?

Microsoft Doesn't Learn
,----[ Quote ]
| The marketing effort for Windows 7 now
| underway clearly illustrates one thing:
| Microsoft has not learned from the past. For
| some reason, they seem to think that people
| actually care about the features of their
| operating system. The truth is, people donât
| really care. â Windows 7 is likely to follow
| the same fate as Vista.
