Challenges To Microsoft For 2006
TekkenLaw writes "Directions on Microsoft, a site which claims to be 'the only independent organization in the world devoted exclusively to tracking Microsoft', has published a list of 10 challenges for 2006 for Microsoft as a company. Top strategic issues in all areas of operation from OS to gaming are covered." From the article: "Windows Vista could offer large organizations improvements in software development, security, reliability, systems management, and user interface. However, public demonstrations have been full of cool graphics effects and consumer features that probably turn off more IT staff than they attract, and sales of Windows upgrade rights to corporations have been disappointing. In 2006, Microsoft has to settle on a feature set for Vista that appeals to enterprises, explain clearly what that feature set is, and reveal what PC hardware and other infrastructure corporations require to reap the benefits." Actually presented in a fairly respectful way, it's interesting to see the overall picture we've reported on for the past year condensed down into one page.
Actually presented in a fairly respectful way...
Fairly respectful!!??? This is slashdot, we want meat with the blood still in it.
I meta-moderate because I care.

Where's the f****** kill google objective? "Microsoft's online strategy has had more facelifts than an aging movie star. The latest strategy could deal with the Google threat, but..." Ah... they are waiting for Duke Nukem to do it for them...
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
11) Stop being evil.
I know most people here would like to see Microsoft going down in flames and F/OSS taking over the world.
Wishful thinking, I say.
They must still have some aces down their corporate sleeves because it appears that they're still hiring people like crazy: a friend of mine who deals in office furniture over in Redmond tells me that they're delivering chairs to Microsoft headquarters as fast as they can manufacture them!

It's like when you have a job interview and they ask you to say something "bad" about yourself. The answers are "You work too hard", "You often take on more work than you should", "You make too many demands on yourself",
Yeah, or: I tend to have sexual relations with the cleaning staff, petty cash tends to inexplicably lose money on my watch, when I get angry I open up a console in a random directory and type rm -rf, and I sometimes play WoW when the boss isn't looking.
