Here are some great articles on Microsoft's business practices and prospects (as distinguished from the Antitrust case). They are pretty basic stuff for most of the regular people on this thread, but they provide a good summary of all the things wrong with Microsoft. They are so good, in fact, that I just had to link them. Is Microsoft in Trouble? Could be... fool.com A Look at Microsoft's Record: Can it continue this way? fool.com The Death of Windows: Rob thinks it's coming fool.com Microsoft's Legal Troubles: Windows into the industry fool.com As for "choice cuts," there are so many, it's too hard to pick and choose. I'll limit myself to this one, from the article on the Death of Windows: In the leaked documents, Microsoft more or less concedes the superiority of the Open Source development model. It acknowledges that it produces more stable and efficient code, and does so more rapidly than traditional software development. Like the scientific community, the widespread peer review and parallel development efforts of Open Source work quite well. Quoting from the document, "The ability of the OSS process to collect and harness the collective IQ of individuals across the Internet is simply amazing." * * * Dan, feel free to post whatever additional parts of these articles you think I should not have left out. ;)
