Microsoft throws down gaunlet
Authored by: Gringo_ on Monday, July 09 2012 @ 11:00 PM EDT

It occurred to me recently that Microsoft actually imagines that it could successfully compete with Apple. Well of course they would think that, being out of touch with the times. In the "good old days", Apple only had 5% of the market, and Windows easily dominated the desktop market. Poor Steve Ballmer doesn't realize that the world has changed, and that there is no more reason to believe Microsoft could maintain dominance.

Shortly after failing to crush Google Microsoft now wants to
kill Apple. Ooooohhhhhh! I can hear them quaking in their
sandals.

Microsoft's Ballmer throws down gauntlet against Apple

Immediately afterward Ballmer revealed he'd been sitting in that gauntlet until the occasion arose to throw it.

Just wondering if we are stepping back in time

I do like this 'old fashioned' approach than more modern equipment that he has used in the past (i.e., a chair). But it will be interesting if Microsoft can pull off a competitive tablet using an Intel Ivy Bridge processor especially as it may make it easier to run Linux on a tablet.

I get tired listening or reading his words. Same marketing buzzwords as always.
I always want to scream, "FIND SOME NEW MATERIAL!"
