Is Microsoft Silent Before a Deadly Storm?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the big-companies-jump-far dept.

M$FTjack writes "Discussions about Microsoft are all over the place, esp. with its recent delays to Vista. Some consider Microsoft to be doomed, while others say Microsoft is silent before a deadly storm. According to the article on CoolTechZone, the author believes that Microsoft will unleash an abundance of next-generation applications that will take everyone by surprise. From the article: 'So why am I citing all these examples? Simply because I think Microsoft is itself poised for a big leap. Despite all the rumors about Google and how it will topple Microsoft, I don't see that happening in the near future ... people (and I don't mean technology enthusiasts) will continue to purchase Microsoft products simply because of the sheer familiarity and comfort levels (BSoD et al) that they have with Microsoft software.'"

    Yah, Quartz looks so pretty on FreeBSD. And XCode is the nicest FreeBSD IDE I've ever used. And my goodness, all those nice ObjC interfaces FreeBSD has.

    Golly you're an idiot.
