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.

    Its greed.

    "don't rock the money boat.. we don't want to risk changing the working formula" " suck every dime out of the saps we call customers"

    Anything that deviates from that goal the slightest is discarded
