In Microsoft Do You Trust? | |
|

| Time: 05:46 EST/10:46 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Will1 | ||

Microsoft envisions a future with computing as pervasive as air, and it sees itself as the oxygen. The question is: Will the rest of the world buy what Microsoft plans to bottle and sell? To breathe in the electronic environment of Microsoft's .Net imaginings, consumers must first hand their private information over to Microsoft, and trust the Redmond company to store it securely and parcel it out judiciously. Some think it's an impossible goal for a company with already questionable records on trust, privacy and security. But its success is crucial to Microsoft, which is banking its future on its .Net initiative. | ||

This article should be titled, "Do you want it or not?". Because, even though we all love to hate Microsoft, they are the only ones competent to pull off the computing environment of the future we all keep reading about. No other single company can bring together all the services and technology to make a single, unified computing experience. We have all that technology today, but no one has yet brought it together. Microsoft will change all that. I'd rather have a situation where Microsoft puts the infrastructure in place, then we have a problem that we can fix, then never have had the technology at all. -daz |

MS is the only one willing to bet the company on something that everyone thinks is going crap (because they really don't know what it is).' Well, MS and Corel. but Corel doesn't have the resources, or the market share to do ANYTHING |
