Vista: Microsoft's Last 'Big Bang' Operating System? | |
|
||
| Time: 14:10 EST/19:10 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
"Vista is the last of the Big Bang operating system releases from Microsoft," Credit Suisse research analyst Jason Maynard wrote in a report last month, the same day he forecast that the company's share price would rise 20%, from $29 to $35, within a year. That's partly on account of Vista. Microsoft is introducing higher-priced, feature-laden editions, which could help revenue from desktop Windows grow 9% to 10% during the fiscal year. Others question Microsoft's ability to tap into the fast-growing market for Web-delivered software. Windows and Office are Microsoft's most lucrative products, accounting for more than 60% of the company's $10.8 billion in revenue during the first quarter, ended Sept. 30. "They're really tied to the fat-client model," says Gartner analyst Michael Silver. | ||

"Others question Microsoft's ability to tap into the fast-growing market for Web-delivered software."
Isn't anyone questioning whether the market for web-delivered software is really all that "fast-growing"? I'd be real curious to know just how many businesses are seriously considering switching to something like Google Spreadsheets. Some of the hype smacks of pre-bubble era lack of discernment. |

hey, i'm in favor of thin clients. fat clients are expensive and with the new server muscle machines, i bet i could get away with it in my forty plus workstation office.
on the other hand placing any significant amount of data from my office on a public server is just not gonna happen. hippa and all. i'll bet there are lots of business folks like me out there. |
