Scoble leaving Microsoft to go to Podtech was an interesting threshold in bloggings relationship with mainstream media.
Why Wall Street didn’t believe Steve Ballmer (and what he can do about it)
The articles subject is also interesting for it’s clarity on what are the Microsoft strategies.
- Vista. Which, regular readers will know, I think will happen more slowly than MS would hope and creates other opportunities due to the long tail of XP.
- Server Farms. I completely agree with MS. This is huge. I’m excited they’re betting big here.
- Xbox. I’m no gamer but bringing lifestyle computing into the living room makes sense to me. I think MS is doing a great job in this space.
I own Microsoft shares. They’re down a bit but I’m holding on to them and buying more if they go lower. Microsoft is not perfect, we’re in a transition phase as the promise of the Internet arrives, but they will get there.
