InfoWorld's Crystal Ball Predicts the Future of Microsoft
museumpeace writes "InfoWorld executive editor Galen Gruman has brainstormed five different scenarios for Microsoft in the coming decade and solicits the reader's vote on which is more likely. Does it tank? Does it go open source? Does it out-Google Google? Does Ballmer really fill Gates' shoes?"
does it blend?
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
The Magic 8 Ball has been on top of this for years... Outlook not good.
Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
My cock and non-crystal balls predict the future of Micro$haft. Specifically, they predict that the cock will get hard and fuck beta testers I mean customers up the ass with no lubrication, meanwhile the non-crystal balls will be slapping against the customer's perineum due to this fucking motion. The customers won't like this, especially the no-lube part, but feel too committed to Micro$haft to switch and besides, all of these problems will be fixed Real Soon Now because the next version of Windoze is going to take care of EVERYTHING, they swear! While they're getting fucked up the ass, the Micro$haft customers will go on message boards and forums like this one and defend Micro$haft against any and all criticism, for free, since you know that'd be horrible if people on the Internet said bad things about them.
2009 will be the year of the Windows desktop.
Similes are like metaphors
Why no, not really.
Why do you ask?
His hands fit rather well on the legs of that chair though... *ducks*

I'd say that the shark has been jumped already.
I, for one, am really glad there wasn't a "Death by snu-snu" option.
*Looks at Ballmer and Gates*
I will near complain about not having options again.
*shudders*
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.

I wonder where you'll end up when you duck while Ballmer is bending over a chair. I don't like the outlook to be clear. But word is he excels when it comes to chairs.
You mean I've only got 12 months to live? 2010 is the real year of the linux desktop as predicted by the Mayan calendar!
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
"Does Ballmer really fill Gate's shoes?"
I don't know.. lets ask Jerry Seinfeld, he seems to be an expert on shoes!
I have heard a rumor that Microsoft is going to replace Windows with a new operating system code named Chair. I have not heard much in the ways of details, except that the new os has legs.
the year is 2025, Microsoft and Apple went bust, filed chapter 11, then MS & Apple merged in to one company, OSWinXV is the OS and can only be installed on WinApple Hardware, and the bundle literally costs a bundle (about the price of a new luxury car) while all the rest of the world runs 95% Linux & BSD (mostly Linux) and a sprinkling of OpenSolaris, only the uber rich buy the MS/Apple with OSWinXV, (roman humerals for 15) and it does not do much other than surf the internet & email, and solitare, while all the real work and productivity is on the *Nixes...
Politics is Treachery, Religion is Brainwashing
Don't knock AOL and their disc distribution strategy. It's because of people like you, complaining about it all the time, that I am right now two discs short of a complete 160-piece drink coaster set for entertaining guests.

Carol vs. Ghost
Only if Steve Ballmer is running it, otherwise they coexist peacefully.
