Turning the Titanic away from an Iceburg

Is the Surface Tablet the start of a giant Microsoft Pivot? "Imag­ine a com­pany that has been licens­ing its oper­at­ing sys­tem to third party com­pa­nies so they can build hard­ware to run it. Imag­ine that com­pany falls on hard times but sees itself tied to that model as essen­tial to mar­ket share growth. Now imag­ine this com­pany decid­ing that it will focus its ener­gies on its own devices and, as a result, throw its third party inte­gra­tors under the bus. If it?s 1997 and that com­pany is called Apple, the action is now seen as a genius move that allowed the com­pany to be reborn. How­ever, if it?s 2012 and the com­pany is called Microsoft, pun­dits have decided that it is the worst idea a com­pany could ever have and a guar­an­tee of fail­ure. Are the pun­dits right? Will Microsoft fail? Does it have a choice? Let?s investigate." More at: http://bi

In between the ideographs, I think the situations are very different. Apple was in serious trouble at that point. M$ isn't, they are still raking in a lot of money. Let me guess, someone who was very involved with the XBox 360 development was in charge here. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Or someone from the M$ Flight Simulator team haha On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 10:08 AM, Larry C. Lyons <larryclyons@gmail.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
