Sometimes I think that Microsoft's future lies in the Xbox, not Windows.

You're absolutely right. These "look at meeeee we're cool and hip just like Apple!" tactics wont go anywhere for Microsoft.

Microsoft has strengths. But they seem to be obsessed with one-upping Apple. If they would simply pull back and play to the markets they're more suited to be in, maybe they'd be faring better.

On the other hand... Apple may be unstoppable. There may be nothing Microsoft can do to stop the slowly tipping scale of power. A few years ago I thought the one piece of consumer electronics that Apple would never try (again) would be video games. I was wrong.

Apple has no business in the cheap computer market, but Google-backed Linux might. If this ever happens... Microsoft will be in quite a bit of trouble.

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
