Is Microsoft Money Crushing Microsoft?

Posted by timothy on from the stifle-y'self-edit' dept.

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.

    Much as I like a good MS bashing session, haven't we seen this before, kind of recently as well?

  3. Dupe MS bashing.... by jwcorder · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Since nothing new came out in the news today that /. could use to bash MS. They decided to repost this story from last week. Just in case anyone out there forgot how bad Billy and the Windows team was over the weekend, remove your beer goggles and realize!
