Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft

Posted by timothy on from the look-out-that-carrot's-loaded dept.

mrdaveb writes "In the face of a declining market for MS Windows and MS Office, Microsoft's recent statements and acquisitions point to a future in which .NET is a key driver behind a strategy which will see Windows CE devices taking the limelight. This article explores the problems which Microsoft face in maintaining their stranglehold, and their likely route to keeping Windows on top."

    This might be offtopic, but what the hell. I'm going to start a company that makes household appliances. We're going to use metal gears and innards, no electronics, and charge 4 times what the competition charges for their cheap crap. We'll also give them a 10 year warranty, just like a Hyundai.

    Who's with me? First product will be a refridgerator like the old ones. All mechanical, all reliable. Starting at $1500, but it'll last 10 years at least, guaranteed.

    Oh, and we're going to "offshore" the company. I think an island in the Florida Keys is far enough offshore, don't you think?
