Microsoft readies "Hailstorm" against AOL | |
|
||
| Time: 07:34 EST/12:34 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Publicly, the Redmond, Wash., software giant is working overtime to pitch its new Windows XP operating system and Office XP desktop application suite as key components of its .Net software-as-a-service vision. But privately, Microsoft is pushing equally hard, if not harder, to sell developers on an upcoming set of Web services building blocks code-named Hailstorm that could be used as part of a new offensive against America Online and its dominance in instant messaging. In short, Microsoft's strength is building software technologies and convincing developers to write applications and services for them. With Hailstorm, sources said Microsoft is attempting to position instant messaging as a complete development platform, rather than as a limited-purpose application. | ||

| This is how MS always wins. This is how they (partly) won the browser war, this is definately how they won the OS war, etc. They appeal to the developers. These other companies are so caught up in the consumers, they forget about the developers and that THEY drive the market. Netscape made this tragic mistake, and it appears that AOL is doing it to. It's sad, but Microsoft really isn't a monopoly, or really isn't a super smart company, it's just that all their competitors are complete and total morons. |
