Miguel de Icaza: Secret Desire To Head Windows 8?
,----[ Quote ]
| Miguel De Icaza is a known Microsoft supporter.
| He is often criticized for his endorsement of
| Microsoft product -- he was heavily criticized
| for endorsing Microsoft's controversial OOXML
| standarad.
|
| Many call him a traitor as he leads the Mono
| project to implement Microsoft's new .NET
| development platform on Linux and Unix-like
| platforms. Now, Icaza returns, suggesting what
| Microsoft should do to improve the next version
| of Windows, rumored as Windows 8.
|
| He goes at length taking pains and suggesting
| what Microsoft should do to improve. Wow! No
| wonder its coming from Icaza, the long time
| supporter of Microsoft.

Novell's de Icaza: 'People are scared of installing software on Windows'
,----[ Quote ]
| While de Icaza may be right that developers and
| users harbor concerns about Windows, it's
| unlikely the developer community would reject
| the App Store concept entirely. Microsoft's
| .NET Framework is popular with developers, and
| Windows' mammoth market share will likely lure
| in developers, even those concerned about
| making applications run properly on Windows.

A Day to Remember: 23 April, 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| And there's another reason why yesterday was significant: Microsoft announced
| what are probably its worst quarter results ever:
|
| Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $13.65 billion for the third
| quarter ended March 31, 2009, a 6% decline from the same period of the prior
| year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the
| quarter were $4.44 billion, $2.98 billion and $0.33 per share, which
| represented an increase of 3% and declines of 32% and 30%, respectively, when
| compared with the prior year period.
|
| Now, the global financial crisis certainly contributed to those figures, but
| I think there's a bigger underlying trend here, which is that the Microsoft
| money machine is faltering.
