Comments on: Microsoft tries new tack with small firms

Company readies software specially tailored for businesses with between 50 and 1,000 employees, a market Microsoft hasn't cracked.

Simple to get, simpler to give away. Avoid the MSFT lie

Simpler to get, simpler to give away. Save the costs of doing
business with Microsoft products, the only company that gets
more profit is them, your company is meanwhile muddled in
upgrade hassles, file incompatiblity, and insecure Internet
access technology that makes you more vulnerable to data and
identity theft.

The list of features that are harmful to your business, and the
economy, are not mentioned in Steve Ballmer's notes. Just hot
air, from a Procter & Gamble-ized "new and improved" promise
that will merely choke the worlds businesses out of more money
and man-hours, while MSFT tries to strangle another sector,
company, or great idea.

The best thing you can do is short MSFT stock with the money
you wouldve spent on their software, and instead buy some
Linux systems for a much lower cost, bringing TCO in line, and
letting your money work for you, rather than having to work for
the money, and the poorly built software MSFT sells for too high
a cost.

They still have not learned how to listen to the customer or the
market, we want secure, easy to use software, without the
constant barrage of enticements to join MSN, Hotmail, or get a
Passport. Do not buy windows, give it away and turn to
Macintosh or Linux, you will find it is the best decision you will
ever make. There are thousands of users who can attest to this,
and all they can say is "why didnt we do this move off MSFT
sooner".

I love the trend,

of announcing and "selling" products more than a year before their
available.
