Why M$ are gonna fail
Calum:
the editor in question used to be editor of the daily telegraph. we don't know, but we wonder, why he is no longer editor there and instead he now edits a (fairly rubbishy) entertainment reviewing website.
Anyway, that's not relevant... why are M$ going to fail then?
pkd_lives:
Because the only way they can continue selling large amounts of software like Office is by subscription - because we are currently at a dead end for such applications, the only way people will buy new office stuff is if it does something they really need, so they are trying to make people subscribe - which is failing...thanks to France, Australia and...bugger I've forgotten. I thought the article said it better than me.
Come on...pay attention at the back.

I think there is a variety of reasons that will contribute to their failure, problem is, we don't know what will happen. That's why I am so uncomfortable, I mean what if alot of windoids don't mind TCPA, what if they do mind it eventually, but it is too late and irreperably intergrated into alot of computers? There is more reasons then this im sure.
I think it would be good if there was a site called "Microsoft watch". It lists everything that could damage MS, and everything that could strengthen MS. Every month it is updated with news on MS financial status, financial changes, happenings over the past month, and "prophecies check", any change in the status of a reason for failure or success is noted.
In addition, there could be a "case history", which starts from the begining of MS, and details all there ups and downs.
Cool site idea eh? Would be nice if someone here could try making a site like that. MES tells us that MS sucks, but opinions and randomly posted news articles are all we have to check their pulse.

The Register already does this fine job ;)
Almost every day you can find a rant about M$, and they're always among the first to mention stuff.
