It appears that Steve and Carl are like a couple of mischievous schoolboys, who can’t let something go until they are sure they have either destroyed something, or figured out why they can’t do it.
A notice on Tech Crunch states that ‘the boys’ have been discussing all the different scenarios that might play out if […]
After reading all the documents on the Microsoft website, along with at least 10 descriptions of the new Equipt software offering, I wrote this yesterday. I have yet to see any explanation of what happens at the end of the subscription period.
Surely Microsoft won’t do anything like Symantec, and try to automatically charge the credit […]
Lots of chatter is going on about the release of Equipt, the newest of Microsoft’s products to rent us our software. On one side there are the opinions of how it is about time, on the other the gasps of how it is finally, dreadfully, here.
In a small way, Dana Blankenhorn, on ZDNet weighs in, […]
How strange it must seem for the Internet Explorer team to again be so far behind in the ‘browser wars’. It must be disheartening to see the market share erode so quickly as well. The days of seeing a 9 as the first digit of the percentage are over for good.

Over at PCWorld, there are some real gems every now and then.

It’s very funny how the tongues wag about some things. Several sources reported that Intel is staying with Windows XP, and along comes Ed Bott, of ZDNet, Vista’s chief apologist, with the news that Intel was this way during the transition of Windows 2000 to XP – they waited quite a while before moving to […]
In her column yesterday, MoryJo Foley, at ZDNet, speaks of he latest changes Microsoft is making to Net Framework. The changes don’t seem to be wowing those in the trenches, as the developers who have been testing the software are giving it a vote of no confidence.
This is bad. Really bad. When the everyday makers […]
It’s more than a joke now. With the removal of Mr. Gates from the day-to-day business of Microsoft, the ability of Steve Ballmer to keep Microsoft on top is a serious question.
The articles cite his tenure at Microsoft, and his time as CEO – few of the top CEOs today stay around for very long […]
After announcing that NBC will offer ‘Olympics on the Go’ download service for the Beijing Olympics in a few weeks, it spoils the idea for many who aren’t users of the Vista operating system or happen to have Microsoft’s Silverlight software installed.

NBC announced two significant technology partnerships with Microsoft and Wavexpress today to […]
