The corporate mindset effect of the long standing M$ mantra:- do it our way not
yours. There is also the track record of each new 'improvement' removing useful
feature of what it displaces. They don't seem to have noticed that the world,
certainly outside the US, has moved on.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The company I work for is wedded to the MS Mantra. We are getting huge pressure
to do everything in .Net/C-Sharp when in my business area, Java is far more
sensible.
Many of our systems could run on Linux with little or no effort but the MS
Salesman has been in and preached the MSMQ (develop each and don't even think
about management problems) so they are up shit creek without a paddle.
It is going to take years to divorce ourselves from MS. I know that my company
is not alone here. I guess that MS know this and this long term transition is
part of their long-game.
Frankly, I think they are being very shortsighted. Once significant numbers of
large companies realise that they don't need Windows anywhere then why bother
with anything from MS at all?
Take shotgun, point both barrels at feet and pull triggers.
Does Balmer really understand what he is doing?
I somehow doubt it.

If you plug a keyboard and monitor into a smart phone,
how many more tasks
would that take away from your
desktop?
I think Microsoft have to move
to smart phones to
stay relevant. Trying to restrict new desktops to
make them
feel like smart phones is an abysmally
clueless strategy comparable to throwing
chairs.
Eventually someone will get the courage to explain
the problem to
Ballmer, but not before they have
tried every variation of the phone-flavoured
desktop.

I love LXDE, use KDE, Gnome, apps on it. Fast, uses very little RAM, etc.
And, would love to see netbooks, and portable devices with either AA batteries
rechargeable, or have the industry develop a FLAT standard that they all use,
that you can buy at the grocery store while on vacation at the beach, skiing, in
the jungle, or on the moon for the next 50 years.
This is needed above all else... a BATTERY STANDARD, or use AA batteries.. if
someone can do that?
