Comments on: 404 for Microsoft's latest decision

Redmond is winding down its book digitization projects. But the timing is even more curious than the move itself.

Another day, another failed project at Microsloth.

It is all for the good, the less presence that MS has on the internet the better it will be. If they don't go back to their core they are going to find their rate of irrelevancy increasing by several orders of magnitude every year. It is not that MS needs to buy goodwill, it is more likely that they realized that they aren't fooling anybody these days.

I love how cnet can armchair quarterback ANYTHING. No matter what msft decides, its wrong in the all-knowing eyes of cnet. Msft builds this service, and its panned and then ignored. Then msft decides to shelve it and cnet does a 180 too. Its a real shame that cnet's record at product management isn't stronger, or perhaps we'd believe them. But look no further than cnet the company for a true disaster story. They shouldn't advise anyone, with that sort of track record. I hope their new bosses at cbs cut DEEP when they clean up the cnet house.

Another day, another failed attempt by The_Decider to have a clue.

Have you considered the idea that you might be out of touch? Your comments seem to reflect fanaticism and not reality. The real world is where we live and work in. You may not like Microsoft, and indeed respond to all things about Microsoft with such vile hatred and vitriole as to make you look like a slobbery rabid chihuahua piddling all over itself in order to bark out your same tired unsupported rants.

Try something new- like making a point. It may get more attention.

I love how nobody mentioned this site as a good idea, until msft decides to shelve it. But thats what we've come to appreciate from cnet's backseat driving. It so easy for cnet's editors and authors to make decisions - unless its about cnet itself, which has been nothing but a failure these last few years. Hope your new bosses at cbs cut DEEP to get cnet back on true journalist legs again.

Hey Coop, we get it. You hate Microsoft. Not sure why you like reporting on them so much. Very professional. Keep it up. Have a life.
