Longhorn: Big Hat, No Cattle? | |
|
||
| Time: 10:38 EST/15:38 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Online | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||
Microsoft is battling the perception that there's little to get excited about in the long-awaited and much-ballyhooed Longhorn. Having stripped Longhorn of the unified file system that some consider the Holy Grail of Windows, Microsoft is trying to generate excitement for its next- generation operating system by touting cosmetic functions in a compelling new interface. But observers are wondering whether even the sweetest of Longhorn's treats will taste a little stale by late 2006, when it finally ships. | ||

Microsoft pays for a study that claims that their competitor has a higher TCO*. You're just too funny! And how was this indepth, scientifically verifiable study performed "Each study participant was given a 20-page, in-depth survey" - you're getting better at this than Parkker! That's quite an achievement!
*Note: Where TCO completely depends on the scenario you apply it to and there are plenty of ways of getting the final figures to show whatever you want them to show. Come on, instead of spreading FUD why don't you get us all excited about what Longhorn will have in it - sure it won't be here for another year but that doesn't mean we cant have daily stories about what it might have in it to get us all excited! |

#5 "They'd love you on Slashdot"
They'd love you at Microsoft... or ActiveWin =) "All of the ones I have read are careful to explain their methodology and the situations they were applied to" Care to point out what we disagree on here? Did you not read what I wrote? Did you have trouble comprehending it? I mean, honestly, what's the problem? Perhaps I better spell things out incase you read my comments and have trouble understanding. I agree that a TCO study is for a very specific scenario with very specific bounds - which is why I do not like TCO studies. Not because they show that X costs less than Y but because all they really show is that under scenario A and with bounds B, X comes out costing less than Y. Then you have people like Parkker, mooresa etc come out and claim that 'Windows' is cheaper than 'Linux' (or whatever it may be) rather than saying well only in that particular scenario is 'Windows' cheaper than 'Linux'. Under that study if my situation is only 80% similar will Windows still come out cheaper? Who knows, you're more than likely going to have to do a new study to find out! "OMG, you say, anyone can lie with figures!" You need me to prove how someone can lie with figures? Or how someone can set up a scenario with boundaries so that X comes out cheaper/better than Y? Think about it yourself! Use Google or something if you can't manage that. |
