Is Microsoft Money Crushing Microsoft?

JoshuaDFranklin writes "The latest Seattle Weekly has an article by a former Microsoft project manager titled Microsoft's Sacred Cash Cow. It argues that Microsoft, addicted to its Windows and Office revenue, is stifling innovation within the company: 'new, better ideas that would take business away from Windows or Office don't really have a chance at Microsoft.' Apple, in contrast, has embraced Open Source and is delivering a better consumer experience." Update: 06/06 21:24 GMT by T : Sorry, it's a dupe.

Yeah right, FUD bitch.

Not too thoughtful are you Chris?

SilentChris, who's anything but, asks:

what other way to explain the fact that stories get repeated again and again?

Did you ever think that some stories might be so good you'd want to tell them twice? A guy who spent 8 years working for the Soft telling it like it is. I was a little dissappointed to see that yet another Softie has not decided to publish a well reasoned criticism of M$ bugs contrasted with the smooth and professional operation of any other platform. Never the less, it made my day to see it again. Could be a mistake, who cares?

A nasty little Microsoft Apologist, like you bear a grudge against Slashdot? No, say it ain't so! Did you run out of bad things to say about Apple while begging people to not hate M$ from your last go at this story. I mean, why else would you berate Slashdot itself for a known and easily ignored problem?

Slashdot ... It's more of a slavery under a cult than a profession.

I doubt it, but even if it is you still won't get fired for saying something nice about Apple.
