  • Are Glorious Days Ahead for Microsoft? [View article]
    You do make some interesting points about the numbers; however, when you talk about specific products, I start to shake my head. The Surface table is a solution looking for a problem. Multitouch for Windows 7, it's hard to see how that could apply to anything much larger than the niche tablet market. Voice recognition, Bill Gates has been touting that it would be the way, the majority of us would navigate our PCs in 5 years, and that was over 10 years ago. And, the Xbox? It's been the 4th best selling console in the US since January, after the PS2 and PS3 and Wii. They just announced May sales and yes, again they trail.

    Even if your numbers seem to point one way, perhaps the market is being influenced by the lack of excitement about products like the Surface, Multitouch, Zune, and Xbox360; not to mention the lack of leadership from Steve Ballmer and the decidedly poorly handled Yahoo! buyout. How can a buyout be a good idea to compete with Google, and then not be a good idea?
