SharePoint 2010 is easier to manage they have simplified several features and PowerShell is supported for scripting. However Some parts of the product such as the BCS service are very time consuming to configure and use even for simple tasks.
SharePoint is a decent platform for several tasks the problem I've seen is that overzealous sales consultants come in and tell management all applications should be hosted in SharePoint and that usually doesn't workout very well.
You gave a list of exporters, US manufactorers have a viable market to sell to inside the country and much of the manufacturing is for internal consumption, China is largely poor and it exports a much larger percent of their manufacturing.
I feel no need to provide a link to show how wrong you are since others have already, anybody who has ever watched CNBC, or anybody who knows how to use Google can clearly see that the US is the worlds largest manufacturer.
Do you live in the US? What about the huge middle class, sure some consider themselves poor because they only own 2 flat screen tvs but this is hardly a nation filled with poor. You can find some small European countries like Luxembourg that have almost 0 poor but I challenge you to find a large country with a situation like us, we are the envy of the world. The median wage in China is only around 900 per year per capita, they are no where near us. China is a country with very few rich and 100s of millions living in situations the poorest American could only imagine. In twenty years people lime you will be saying that the US is going to be taken over by India and forget about how supposedly China, Germany, and Japan were supposedly going to do this before and failed.
America had a free economy and culture of competion when combined with many hard working immigrants who are the best of their home countries we are an unstoppable juggernaught,
Do you realize that the US is the largest manufacturer in the world not China. Countries see these big gains as they improve thief infrastructure but they never surpass the US. Look at Germany and Japan both have had times in the past 60 years where "experts" said they were over taking the US.
I think the live tiles was an interesting idea but if the sales person doesn't push it the interface looks weird when compared with iOS, Android, and webOS.
They don't have a mobile OS they cleary have stated it is only for phones. Windows 8 is just windows 7 with tiles so far, a desktop OS on a "slate" as they call it. Windows on ARM is atleast a year away and won't be able to run x86 and AM64 except for purely.net and java apps. Tell me how many 100s of million tablets will be sold by competitors by then?
There chief architect said something to the effect of he is t convinced tablets will be around in a few years because there is no use case between smart phones and laptops.
I also meet with various Microsoft reps in different product lines and the company talking points cleary ae desktop OS oriented.
Finally their primary revenue stream comes from Desktop OS, desktop support server software, and Office. These products are heavy under assault by tablets. There smart phone offering is performing poorly in the market and they have a virtually non-existent tablet strategy.
The big news is that iOS will no longer require a Windows or Mac PC. this means Apple is acknowledging at least tacitly what Microsoft never will, desktops and laptops to some extent are losing their place at home to the dual threat of smart phones and tablets.
At home nothing prevents you. But I know of a few pieces of commercial software that work on older IE versions but won't work on 8 unless you upgrade the software version and that may mean big bucks. It can make the upgrade process difficult don't you think?
If that is what you choose to believe go ahead. But their are really only two products that businesses use for server virtualization VMWare(by far the leader) and then Hyper-v. Gartner predicts 27% marketshare by the end of 2012, so I doubt it's share is declining yet they predict it at 27% in a year and a half.
If you google it you'll find that hyper-v makes up around 18 - 28% based on who doing the counting, the way they counted, and what quarter they based their statistics on.
Windows shops that run 95% Windows but have acquired some application that runs on Linux would do this. they are already configured for Windows Virtualization technologies and have no reason to run Linux on bare metal given the advantages of virtulization.
why isn't Hyper-V enterprise ready. They have white papers on major ERP products running on it, Oracle and SQL Server installations can even perform on it. It has failover capabilities. It isn't as advanced as VMWare but the cost savings in software licensing is significant.

What generation iPod touch are you using? I have hooked up iPhones, iPads, and Macs without any performance issue.
I don't think Google is light years ahead of icloud, iTunes/app store blow away Googles offerings. Google is too handsoff with it's ecosystem.
How back the fact that Audi doesn't make discount crap and Dell tries to compete in that market.
The teal reason to fret is that on an article about webOS the majority of the posts don't even mention HP or webOS but instead apple, iOS, and ipad

Consumer electronics are a very small portion of manufacturing.
That is the difference, the US is also the largest consumer market so most goods made here never leave our shores.

So now I can turn a high end MacBook into a $2000 web browser, what a great idea.
Also how about the fact it's used for parts of various MS Software products such as SQL Server and SharePoint.

I suppose you're forgetting how Microsoft launched Silver and killed Flash.

Call it more conjecture than fact if you will

Perhaps he actually introduced you to how the most successful computing device company takes an idea and makes it usable for the masses.
Don't you understand this is a way to get the old viruses to your tablet err I mean slate.
