Putting the 'Corp' in Corporate Communications
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest Apple commercials are great
| examples of a company that places itself and
| its reputation at the center of its
| communications. They present themselves and
| their chief competitor, Microsoft, literally
| as people. The Apple person is likeable and
| the sort of person you might want to hang out
| with; friendly, confident, cool and relaxed.
| The Microsoft person is less impressive. He's
| nervous, defensive and gives the impression
| he'd rather not be there at all.

Microsoftâs credibility turning to junk while Linux revenue grows
,----[ Quote ]
| Sweeping changes are needed in Microsoftâs go-to-market approach, and it may
| find more success by creating products like Live Writer, which found a huge
| following right away. Continuing on its current path, the company will
| continue to destroy its credibility and build animosity with users looking
| for quality products on their terms.
