Microsoft Should Listen to Its Heart (and ignore the bean counters)

its not about google apps, yahoo apps, or the "software world going online"

i will not talk trash about the author, but please, why insist on this "its all going online"

its about the damn freewares populating cyberspace, well said, the guy who mentioned openoffice.org and many other in initiatives

bandwith is still a problem, plus, there are tons of places you cannot get online through broadband, you would need a fast quick old fashioned dialup solution. thats where thoes web apps, fail, and once again it comes down to the freewares like, openoffice
lets not forget that, combined office and windows represent 90% of microsoft revenue.
now, its delusional to think that "not buying yahoo will sink them(them = microsoft)"
believe me pal, this guys at redmond got tons of aces in their sleeves, and can affoard to spend 40 billion, in something else. that would turn out to be better, easier and more lucrative.

by the way,
MAC OS AND LINUX (UBUNTU AND ITS TONS OF OTHERS DISTRIBUTIONS) do not threat windows at all.
firefox does this to internet explorer.
but as an OS, windows is the supreme king.
no dethroning anytime soon.

PLUS:
MAC WOULDNT BE SELLING THAT MUCH IF JOBS HADNT REALIZED THAT DUAL BOOT WAS A MUST.

i know people that buy macs, just for the sake of having a mac.
they dual boot it, and install windows.
thats is.

mac is esthetic's, is fashion, is cute. and thats all.
its a cpu brand, like prada is for clothing.
