Microsoft: Confident Amid Tech Turmoil | |
|

| Time: 04:08 EST/09:08 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Microsoft Corp. said on Tuesday it was confident about the future, which was why it was raising an army of new recruits and investing tens of millions of dollars in an alliance with Hewlett-Packard. Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer used a European tour to launch a new initiative with H-P, aimed at bringing .NET services from Microsoft to businesses, and used the occasion to argue that the oft-criticized firm was a "responsible industry leader." Microsoft's .NET is a wide range of software, standards and services that aims to tie information between different programs and devices together over the Internet. "It's a major investment and will give major new capacities to the market, to people who can move forward with .NET," Ballmer told journalists here. "A lot of people worry about the bad economies and markets and the blah, blah, blah. But we're still very confident," he said. | ||

nomdlev, you are half right (thats 50 percentage points more than most of your posts). You are right that Microsoft is a "predator beyond all others". And THAT is exactly why I buy from them for my companies needs. I have much more confidence that MSFT will be here in 10 years. I am not willing to risk my livelihood on a hope and prayer company or concept (OpenSource vendors, Apple, even Sun slightly). If you understood the first thing about ENTERPRISE computing, you would realize that CONFIDENCE is the WHOLE enchilada.
And because Microsoft is a "predator beyond all others", I also am an investor. They don't avoid the realities of the competitive landscape like so many others (Palm still doesn't admit they have credible competition, Apple pretends to be happy with 2.6% of the market, Oracle refuses to admit that MSFT is murdering them on value). Instead, MSFT confronts the REALITIES (WordPerfect, Novell, Apple, Netscape, Linux, Sony) and formulates a LONG TERM plan to beat them in the marketplace. My friends, that is capitalism... plain and simple. Hooray! This post was edited by mooresa56 on Wednesday, September 25, 2002 at 17:23. |
