On: Xobni - a waste of money

"but competing against a culture as meeting-centric and slow as Microsoft's is less challenging than you might think"

I think I'll get another opinion about that from someone at Netscape, Lotus, or Corel.

Oh, never mind.

Microsoft of the 80s and mid-90s is not the Microsoft of today, is it?

You don't think there's any particular systemtic reason why Apple shipped like 5 releases of OS X in the time it took to create Vista?

Henning, I think you have hit the point that will eventually bring Microsoft to its knees unless it changes directions.

Unrelated: I've been womdering for a while where you are from with that name? Can you tell us?

I wasn't referring to Microsoft's ability to compete with quality. No sane person would argue that.

But I can think of 34 billion reasons why I wouldn't want to be in their crosshairs. And those are 2008 Benjamins.
