Microsoft Corp. said Sunday that in response to the economic crisis it would sponsor an initiative to help train up to two million people in basic technology skills.

Shaping minds the Microsoft Way...

nah... I think this is a big part of an evolving strategy... as "services" evolve direct from Microsoft, centralized IT/MIS support will be cut back significantly.

Parallel to this is goodwill with the states... this is very "state" esque... if you will and entirely consistent with the socialization occuring out here... Corporations will mirror what is taking place among governments at every level. Not a good thing in my opinion.

The thing about MS that really worked was that it fed a massive ecosystem many times its own size... that is changing and will accelerate... the ecosystem will shrink in relative terms... same as spending in the private sector is shrinking in relative terms to government spending and influence.

The real question we need to be asking ourselves is very familiar: Will we seek comfort over indepence - much as we sought comfort and complacency over victory in our recent global efforts to combat terrorism. They are similar in many ways... and the people have spoken... they want to comforted and want to remain complacent and not fight - same as they don't care if their independence is gone - so long as they are comfortable.

Used to be young people could not wait to fly from the nest... they did not care how humble their new home was, or how big the TV wasn't... it was "THEIR Home and THEIR TV" - today it is quite different.. I am so old that for me, I would quite literally rather be dead, or live under a tree than be less independent, or less free. This is about big corporations working in ways big governments do. If you're in the channel, start changing your services strategy immediately and focus on leveraging the platforms in very granular ways you can adapt around specific customer needs. You can retain your individual relevance as the world becomes one big dependent mass. Oh.. and look for 2 trillion more to be dumped into the banks.

So you're saying they will make Mac's available during the training.

Somehow I don't think so :)

Another example of MS redefining common words to suit itself. In this case, "technology" = "Windows".

#5 By 23275 (24.196.4.141) at 2/24/2009 10:22:41 PM
Technology = enhancing human performance, or advancing the human condtion, or both.

Clearly Microsoft has and continues to do both of these things in support of millions of professionals and the companies within which they work to the same good cause. While they often do not get all things right the first time, they do not quit and their passion never wanes. Like the company, or not, you have to respect the people in it. I personally love how they never give up and never relent. Imagine if Bill Gates had given up, or if Steve Ballmer had not convinced him to hire more people? If he had given up?
