View my page on. Monday, July 7, 2008. Microsoft Partners Get Their Due, But Do You? Microsoft's annual Worldwide Partner Conference kicks off this week and it's going to be, big, Big, BIG. Take Office 2007 and its new user interface, which necessitates extra training or help desk support; or the new server-function SKUs, which nearly require a mathematics degree to understand the pricing structure and benefits. Then there's Windows Vista, where hefty system requirements and resistance to custom appl...

View my page on. Monday, July 14, 2008. If you're a dinosaur, extinction is inevitable. But dinosaurs aren't replaced by mammals overnight. Evolution is a long process, which is why Microsoft can get away with its convoluted approach to partnering on hosted Web services. And I don't believe Microsoft's partner pitch; snake oil salesmen and pyramid schemers have made it before. To quickly recap: Today at the Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston, Microsoft announced pricing for its Online Services.

View my page on. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. Microsoft.com Goes Virtual. Is what corporate blogging is supposed to be about. Today, Rob Emanuel, a Microsoft technology architect, blogged about Microsoft using Hyper-V technology for Microsoft.com. He earlier blogged. 8212;and much more briefly—about using Hyper-V Release Candidate 0 for the MSDN and TechNet sites. Presumably, Rob's post supports today's Hyper-V release to manufacturing. Rob has put together a nice, concise primer, including Microsoft.com s...

View my page on. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Can There Be 'Wow' in Vista Marketing? Yesterday's Microsoft marketing bravado is just too funny. So. 17 months after general availability, Microsoft will promote Windows Vista? The big talk and promises came from Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, in Houston, where Brad Brooks fessed up about Vista marketing mistakes. Products don't sell themselves. There are good. Suddenly, there's bravado. Microsoft is making promises about real Vista marketing....Whate...

In the past week we have had the opportunity to discuss with Carl Icahn the prospects for a possible agreement between Microsoft and Yahoo. While of course there can be no assurance of a future transaction, we will be prepared to enter into discussions immediately after Yahoo's...

View my page on. Monday, June 30, 2008. Around the World in Less than 180 Days. When is late early? This morning, Microsoft announced that its Hyper-V virtualization technology had released to manufacturing. From one perspective, the software shipped late, because it missed the February 27 launch of Windows Server 2008. Looked at another way, the software is early, because the RTM was less than the previously stated "released within 180 days." RTM is more like 120 days, or two months early. Released Hype...

View my page on. Friday, July 11, 2008. Yahoo, What Icahn Do to You. Microsoft has made clear its intentions: to work with billionaire Carl Icahn for the end of Yahoo. So, this is Plan B: Snatch Yahoo search in a boardroom coup. The billionaire board buster bolsters his own position in a separate letter. The statements clearly expose Microsoft's back-room corporate maneuverings. CEO Steve Ballmer and Co. aren't so squeaky clean after all. Microsoft's decision not to engage Yahoo in a proxy fi...After giv...
