Has Microsoft switched from defense back to offense? | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com.
An interesting article describing the ways that Microsoft, who’s been clearly losing it’s edge for years, is in the process of making a major comeback.
Key points:
- Apple is complaining about Microsoft ads and is lowering their price to counter
- Office 2010 could be a GoogleDocs killer by offering rich native web functionality
- Bing has become a very viable alternative to Google
- Microsoft will be opening Retail stores next to Apple
- And my personal favorite, Windows 7 is radically smaller and faster, while being even functionally better, than Vista.
In my opinion, this time next year should be very interesting. It may take a bit longer, but I bet Microsoft is doing something with the critically acclaimed, but not super selling, Zune OS to turn it into a full fledged mobile device OS.
