Platform Evangelism

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the witnessing-for-the-faith dept.

An anonymous submitter writes "James Plamondon, a former Microsoft employee is writing a book on Technological Evangelism at Microsoft. He's posted the first chapter, "Evangelism is War." Robert Scoble, a current Microsoft Evangelist doesn't like the metaphor, but Micah Alpern is concerned Microsoft could use similar strategies against Macromedia Flash."

  2. Macromedia in trouble? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Macromedia's days are numbered once MS targets flash.

    It's probably only a matter of time before MS decides to start targeting Adobe markets as well.

    Why not just get a supported replacement?

    It would cost no more than a large pizza.

    It would cost much less than your next series of Microsoft upgrades.

    I love the fact that there's a great big Microsoft ad on this article.

    Not only did Slashdot post this anti-Microsoft article to get ad hits, but the ad is from Microsoft themselves. Of course, Slashbots will choose to ignore the fact that Slashdot is corporate-owned.

  6. ANYONE ELSE SICK OF MICROSOFT by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    God damn i'm sick of hearing about M$ this, M$ that. They are NOT a software company(software being programs that ASSIST you in your tasks). They ARE a MARKETING company that happens to also sell software(bloat, insecure,crap..).

    As a marketing company, I guess all M$ is really good at is opening up their mouths to proselytize themselves, and of course buying/squashing their competition.

    They were nailed as a monopoly, why are they still ruling the debate?
