Response Point with Service Pack 1 Microsoft's Most Underappreciated Product of 2008 | |

Paul Thurrott: I often argue that Microsoft's biggest strength, its ability to create enduring platforms, can also be its biggest weakness: It seems that every time the software giant tackles a problem, it hides in a hole until it can emerge months or even years later with a fully-fleshed-out, be-all, end-all platform of some kind. That kind of strategy works well when the platform in question is quickly adopted by a wide range of partners and customers--and the rest of the industry doesn't race to fill the gap. But sometimes a platform's slow ramp-up can harm the chances that the underlying solution--the reason they created that platform in the first place--is ultimately successful. | ||
