Microsoft raids the penny jar of small business with piracy allegations?
,----[ Quote ]
| Lets also consider that here you have vendors
| ânamed and shamedâ, without trial by
| Microsoft. I am sure they all volunteered to
| be named by Microsoft, but I wonder what if
| they hadnât? I wonder what sort of
| âagreementâ Microsoft offered them, or indeed
| what they said they would do, if they didnât
| agree. I would like to think that Im not the
| only one who is a little uncomfortable about
| a firm handling these matters itself, what
| would you do if you owned a small business
| when Microsoft employeeâs came knocking?
| Refuse to co-operate? I think for a small
| business being eyed up by Microsoft, its not
| trading standards they would worry about.

What happened to Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| We hear very little from its outside
| agencies and almost nothing from the inside
| PR department.
|
| Where are the exciting news stories about
| what the company is doing? This can't be
| good for the company, it has always relied
| on a blanket of often obfuscating PR,
| especially when leading into the next
| generation cash cow.
