Link: Microsoft on Vista: ‘The time of worry is over.’ | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com. Look for MS to come out swinging over the next few months on all fronts. Like a wounded lion MS is once again poised to become very, very dangerous to the health and welfare of its competitors.
The lion may be bloodied but it is not dead. MS' response on Vista, Sharepoint & Search, and a host of other initiatives will be fierce. I say "bring it on!" Ultimately this kind of competition ends up benefiting the consumer.
I have made a commitment to "compute on the cloud" and remain happy with this decision. There is no going back to the PC as my primary "platform of record." But, while there are switching costs on the cloud, they are not as steep as in days gone by. I await with some level of interest MS' response.
I do not expect to be switching vendors anytime soon, but you never know. Watch out Google/Apple, the boys from Redmond are tired of being kicked around! The wounded lion has awoken from his slumber is looking for something to kill.
