MS(Keep buying your friends)

Here we go with MS being the bully again buying their friends.

Well,
It looks like both MS and Yahoo are so scared of Google dominating that they are going to join up. I guess they both are saying indirectly that unless we join up together, we will never catch google.

Another win for Google.

Winners are consumers.

I commend Microsoft for finally acknowledging that they should not be in the online web portal business and focus on what they do best. That is making software infrastructure products, applications, and operating systems.

This should help improve your stock performance which took a beating last week and make it more volatile in the market place.

I don’t see this as battle who is better whether its Yahoo, MSN, Google, or AOL. I actually use all of their products at different times of the day. They are all making plenty of money. Neither will put each other out business.


This is good for innovation and a win for us consumers.

BTW: I like Microsoft live, yahoo mail, aol aim, and google search. So each of them have a strong product offering for different applications.

MS Dino warding off the ICE AGE of search

MS playbook for monopoly:
A. "If you cannot innovate...imitate".
B. If (A) doesn't work, then "embrace, extend, extinguish the compitetion."
C. If (A) & (B) fail, then "open up our hugh wallets & buy out the competitors.
D. "Geeks Rule" & "Billionare Geek Bullies always win".

Once a shark, always a shark. Seen it all before in Seattle.

Difference please

Apple has done, or at least tried, all of these before.

1. Imitate - iPod, the GUI, portable computers
2. EEE - Bootcamp, x86 co-processor cards
3. Buy - NeXT
4. Bully - Think Secret

(What is it with you and movies anyway?)

MSN Search

I am an employee of Netpia, which is in Seoul Korea and providing Native Language Internet Address for all countries.

I have a bit concern that MS is expanding its "search" business and blurs difference between Internet Address and Keyword Search. IE 7.0 is exactly what it is trying to do.

My opnion is that MS should focus on its own industry.
