Microsoft Execs Reap Bitter Harvest | |

Bill Gates has never had a reputation for government cooperation. But the renegade attitude that led to his riches in the technology world ultimately could lead to the destruction of his software empire. Indeed, fallout from the various antitrust lawsuits -- either direct or indirect -- is becoming more and more apparent. Legal rulings are dictating the content of Microsoft's XP service packs. Former allies in the PC world are dropping the operating system like a hot potato. And unlikely competitors are finding chinks in the company's once seemingly impenetrable armor. Five words, Billy boy: You reap what you sow. | ||

I believe somebody a few days ago said that editorials should be labeled as such. This author's extremely hard to defend position (and one that the article itself certainly doesn't defend) should be labled "Way out on a Limb Microsoft Doomsday Editorial".
It would be wiser for the author to say, since the government's antitrust trial has begun Microsoft's profit margin has decreased. This is a sign of the success of the trial regardless of the trial's outcome. She might then discuss that despite the lower profit margin and the changing climate in the industry (which, incidentally serves to prove Microsoft's contention that there is great competition in the industry) Microsoft is continuing to grow in revenue, products and services. Indeed, the company is expanding its research and development budget and has announced that it is increasing its workforce by roughly 10%. Despite some factors to the contrary, these are signs of a very healthy and stable company. I guess if she woiuld have written it like that, my title would no longer be appropriate. |

Interesting, the original source is osopinion.com, which is part of Newsfactor.
Usually the articles on osopinion.com give a bio about the author. Most of the anti-MS ones have a bio like "Jimmy started using computers at the age of 12, 2 years later he's now learned all about Linux and is really knowledgeable about the computer industry he doesn't work in." Yeah, that was sarcasm. :) |
