Pain for Wintel
,----[ Quote ]
| When you manipulate the world into
| using your stuff and you use non-
| standards to do it, you have to eat
| your own dog-food. Intel is choking on
| it. as they move to â7â.
|
| This is a fine example of why we
| should use Free Software and stick to
| open standards. All the IE6isms built
| into the web and LANs lock us forever
| into obsolete technology. Those of us
| who migrated to GNU/Linux years ago
| are laughing. We can upgrade with
| scarcely a concern for widespread
| incompatibilities.

Microsoft Courier: the third weak link in a miserable mobile strategy
,----[ Quote ]
| Additionally, the only success
| surrounding the Xbox as a software
| platform came only after Microsoft
| dumped many billions into a loss
| leader hardware platform over the
| course of several years, after
| claiming a year or two head start over
| rival Sonyâs next generation console.
|
| Microsoft isnât going to give away 75
| million mobile devices to catch up to
| Apple. Microsoftâs fan base might do
| well to stop and listen to what the
| company says out the other side of its
| mouth, such as when it talks about
| âattach ratesâ of games for the Xbox.
| Whatâs the attach rate for the Zune
| HD? Does one need more than one hand
| to count the number of apps for it?
| And how many hundred hardware units
| has Microsoft sold at retail these
| days?
|
| In this new multitouch mobile race,
| Microsoft is already three years and
| three product categories behind. And
| of course, WP7, the Zune, and Courier
| all sport completely different
| interfaces that were conceived and
| designed by far-flung teams who were
| not even aware of each otherâs goals
| within the cat herds that are
| Microsoft.
