Ken,Re:"Beware the wrath of Sam". Like MSFT's legal said, "the heck
with DOJ/Janet Reno, or something of that nature".
The consumers demanded MSFT to integrate EVERYTHING in the OS. It's
cheaper for them. (well, at least on the surface, until you have
to keep EVERYTHING Upgraded in concert to have EVERYTHING working, so
I don't buy this.)
The point at this juncture is: corporations see the PROBLEM of having
everything integrated, the cost of owning EVERYHING all the time.
So corporations will (have to) NOT always OWN everything -> client
server model. They have the manpower and knowhow to do it.
Consumers and small business have no choice but continue to have
MSFT's fully integrated environment. This is a perfect environment
for MSFT. MSFT is so rich because of a lot of us can afford 'several
hundred dollars a year and the good part is, consumer don't keep
profit/lost like corporation, it's just part of living.
And best of all, there is NO CHOICE. Even COKE has pepsi, non-brand
competition.
Then, the HDD, MEMORY, CPUs, PC all keep lowering price for MSFT to
benefit. Isn't this a DREAM business or what?
Isn't this the best time to buy MSFT? |
