    • The End Run Around the Operating System Is Under Way [view article]
      Wall Street is looking for the next money making machine. In this process, Wall Street will buy into many stories that claims to point out the next money machine. This is where the audience comes from for articles like "OS is dead" Aug 15 03:58 PM
    • The End Run Around the Operating System Is Under Way [view article]
      "the operating system...will become an application that just happens to boot first. " - is that not that what it is now?
      "The OS will...be plumbing." = that isn't important?
      "Toss in virtualization" = isn't MSFT doing that?
      the OS glory days are gone...perhaps in a decade = what software product lasted more than 10 years.
      Your article says the changes you predict will take 10 years to play out, in other words technology will change in the next 10 years, not much of a headline grabber.

    • Is Microsoft Out of Ideas? [view article]
      Cleary if MSFT has 20,000,000,000 in cash that is the proof they have no ideas. That is clear as 20,000,000,000 doesn't just come from ideas it comes from trees.

      You would have tried to sell the same idea if MSFT had successfully bought Yahoo. Aug 08 04:30 PM
    • Is Microsoft Out of Ideas? [view article]
      i do not see any connection between a stock buy back and no ideas? If MSFT announced a goal to spend the same dollars on R&D, you would write this is proof MSFT is desperate and fruitlessly spending even more on R&D to no avail because all those R&D shenanigans having never produced anything but a 90% market share.

    • Open Source Community Rants Six Years Late About Microsoft Filing [view article]
      You encapsulated well the passion of the open source community to 'catch' Microsoft. This 'catch' Microsoft is usually done when issues are taken out of context which you also pointed out. Well done and well written.

    • Google Is Preparing to Unleash the Cannibals on Microsoft [view article]
      You forgot to make a metaphor to Cleopatra and Achilles heel? I thought it was Microsoft that had an imagination that was showing signs of failing?

      "This is largely complete nonsense." = Would not this be a contradiction to what Yahoo! has done in previous negotiations?

    • Ballmer on Newspapers: Wrong Again [view article]
      If i enjoy reading a 'magazine' online, I will order an old fashioned subscription so I can also enjoy reading it offline. I cannot read a PC screen leaning back in my recliner as easy as I can a magazine.

    • Microsoft's iPhone Envy Is Starting To Show [view article]
      The humor is actually in the translations. Everything Microsoft said was a fact. i recommend Mr. Dignan proceed with aggressive caution next time he offers his humorous translations. Jun 06 11:48 AM
    • Yahoo's 'Poison Pill' Against MSFT Takeover Deemed 'Nuts' [view article]
      "It's not nuts--it's extreme brinksmanship." All your examples are from movies; your credibility is lost. You forgot "Barbarians at the Gate" That was all about takeovers; it even had a future Presidential candidate in the movie. He failed in the movie also.

      "Microsoft’s failure of imagination" Maybe Microsoft moved their money and talent to projects you cannot even imagine.

    • Microsoft's Cashback: Changing the Internet Industry Forever [view article]
      I better understand the situation after this article. MSFT decided it could not beat GOOG at its own game so it changed the game. It moved the battlefield out of GOOG's cannon field of fire. That is innovative. Soon GOOG will be viewed as Netscape, WordPerfect, Lotus, and DbaseIII+
