Microsoftâs $6B deal for aQuantive fell flat, but could pay dividends later
,----[ Quote ]
| Three years after Microsoft agreed to buy
| Seattle-based digital advertising company
| aQuantive, the Redmond companyâs ad
| revenues have barely budged, its online
| losses have soared, many of aQuantiveâs
| top executives have left, and one of
| aQuantiveâs biggest units has been sold.
|
| Itâs not the outcome once envisioned from
| the $6 billion acquisition, which remains
| the largest in Microsoftâs history.

Microsoft lacks edge
,----[ Quote ]
| Instead of suing, why not just build
| better products? When customers use CRM
| they are looking to build an edge on their
| competition by improving relations.
| Microsoft should improve relations with
| all the time and money they spend suing
| their partners.

| ...I'm not looking forward to having to work with Microsoft employees.
| From what I've seen, all you do is bitch about your jobs.
|
| We ship software, alot of it, and hardly ever have to work more than 40
| hour weeks. And our products are highly reliable and actually work.
|
| I don't look forward to having a bunch of Microsofties working on our
| products, bitching about our processes, because thats all you guys seem
| to do, I'd put one of our offshore developers against 10 of yours,
| attitude is everything. Your egos are sickening.
