Inspired by google? Huh?

Microsoft has offered this for years now. Its called
'Voice Command'.

NBCOlympics.com: Winner, Loser, or Hobbled from the Start?

I personally watched 20 or so hours online. I thought they did a great job. Silverlight seems as good as Flash. And the download took all of 30 seconds.yo

Is Microsoft Out of Ideas?

Its simple. MSFT raised its cash position specifically to do a large acquisition (yahoo). When those prospects dropped, they see no reason to hold onto the cash.

Should they instead give it to the poor? No Buy 500 startups? No. Add another 15,000 FTE's? No.

Two choices? Large dividend payout (like they did one other time) or buy back shares. Its not like the company had debt to pay down.

Open Source Community Rants Six Years Late About Microsoft Filing

The OSS communities greatest strength in the past... is now clearly their greatest weakness. And I'm referring to their propensity to HATE everyone else. Look no further than GPLv3 for a legal-eaze version of that very weakness.

Microsoft: In Need of Focus

"but you have to wonder about the returns here"

Personally, I love the long-term approach that Ballmer and Co. are taking. Its REFRESHING and I wish more American businesses would/could do it.

If you're curious about the IRR, which is what you are worried about... go re-listen to Chris Liddell's presentation before the closing Q&A. He showed a slide or two that made a TON of sense.

How Microsoft's Hyper-V Could Beat VMware

VMWare is gonna eat dirt, and fast. The price is RIGHT with Microsoft's solution. Ask any CIO, if they are willing to receive a 50% discount for 80% of the functionality... and with Software Assurance... those same CIO's feel confident that the remaining 20% of functionality will not cost them a single penny more.

Game set match.

Micrcosoft Buys Powerset: Next Big Thing or More Junk?

So then, you disagree with Tim Berners Lee that the Semantic web is the next step?

Did the 'Enron of Norway' Pull a Fast One on Microsoft?

"You owe the author--and the rest of this community--an apology."

I left your apology in the big white bowl beside my shower. Its all yours. Have at it.

Did the 'Enron of Norway' Pull a Fast One on Microsoft?

"Odd for someone who fancies himself an expert on reporting."

Save the proper grammer for your lectures of 50+ year old people... the last generation concerned with such trivial things.

"Facts are debatable". Let me clarify. I should have said "The Facts in the linked story are debatable". The story that searchguru linked to is FULLY DEBATABLE. Those aren't facts.

Did the 'Enron of Norway' Pull a Fast One on Microsoft?

The facts are debatable, but calling this 'reporting' is not. Its indirect and sensational only.

Did the 'Enron of Norway' Pull a Fast One on Microsoft?

This posts makes it crystal clear that you are not a journalist. You say things like "another shady search company" without any explanation. And that is your style throughout this entire post.

Its one thing to share with readers the questions from a Norwegian newspaper, but its another to add your own adjectives and to offer it all up as findings of fact.

Microsoft: Bernstein Not Sanguine About Vista Adoption

Note that he trimmed his estimate by 49million, while his estimate was a 700million above consensus. C'mon Eric Savitz, call this what it is... CRAP.

He moves his estimate down (49/700 = 7%) but still 93% above the average analyst following MSFT.

Laughable.

Microsoft: Bernstein Not Sanguine About Vista Adoption

What a heaping pile by DiBona. He is simply playing CYA because his revenue estimates were too high. Found this note from April 8, 2008...

DiBona "also repeated his above-consensus Q1 revenue estimate of $24.3 billion; the Street sees $23.6 billion."

ABOVE-CONSENSUS!!!

So, now rather than admit any error... he blames Microsoft. Real classy Charles.
