Jabs at Apple

Turnabout is fair play. Apple has been taking jabs at MS for a while
now, and even introduced a new commercial today.

It will be interesting to see how Apple responds on the 15th, if at
all.

Gates' new avatar .. oracle of information management
by Sanjiv Swarup January 7, 2008 3:12 AM PST
Gates is well positioned to help execute his own vision of 'friction-less' information: i.e how is he going to facilitate the move to the free on-line, on-mobile productivity suites ( like Google Docs, or eDeskOnline) ?

Bill Gates -- Truly a Legend!
by maverick_nick January 7, 2008 3:47 AM PST
Microsoft is Bill Gates, and perhaps in some way it always will be. We will forever remember the man who sold DOS to IBM - an operating system he never had.

Whether you love or hate Bill you've got to admit that he's a legend. He's the sort of man who will be written about for many years to come, and remembered for even long.

We will forever remember the man who sold Vista to the public - an operating system he never had.
Goodbye Bill

Now maybe Microsoft and the computing industry can move in a more forward direction. Instead of telling customers what they want and feeding them poor implementations of a singular vision, maybe now Microsoft can listen to customers and provide products that actually meet todays for productivity and innovation. One can hope, anyway.
