Microsoft On the Rebound Into the Arms of Facebook?

Could Microsoft be pursuing Facebook now since Yahoo! wouldn’t let them take them to the Senior Prom? It appears that way from Andy Beal’s perspective and his sources.
Facebook is already wearing Microsoft’s ring–the company recently invested $240 million in the social network–but the timing is just too strange. Ten minutes ago, Yahoo was the […]

Is It Really Over? Microsoft Pulls Yahoo Offer

This is one that I really thought would happen. I didn’t think it would happen easily or exactly quickly, but I thought it would eventually get approved and move forward.
Part of me thinks this could still be in the overall strategy though. The YHOO stock price has already dropped to $24 from it’s 52-week […]

Microsoft Internal Vista SP1 Marketing Music Video

Is this for real?
They’ve got to know it would be leaked on the Internet.
Hopefully they’re just using it as a funny motivational tool. Looks a little too clean and well produced to completely be a spoof.
Hopefully they’re just not taking themselves too seriously and intended it for what it is. A funny video. I […]

Can’t We All Just Get Along (Microsoft, Apple, Linux)

I just read a really interesting article talking about why everyone seems to hate Microsoft, and why that hatred is pretty much useless to making any real change or improving anyone’s situation.
The article states that Linux and Apple have both stated that there’s no need to try and compete directly with Microsoft.
Similarly, I spent many years […]

Do You Love Or Hate Microsoft

Mike Abundo at Emerging Earth, just shared his opinion about Microsoft and why nobody’s giving up the love for the big softie. I’ve got to say that I’m not sure if I could categorize my feelings for Microsoft as “love”, but I can tell you I appreciate what they’ve allowed and equipped me to do […]

Microsoft Clicks on DoubleClick Opportunity

A little bit of rumbling in the acquisitions department at Microsoft today. Or at least we can expect there to be with recent news stories about Microsoft putting its eyes on online advertising company DoubleClick. Could this be what Microsoft needs to help it put up a better fight against Google’s AdSense and Yahoo’s online advertising revenue streams?
The DoubleClick […]

Windows Vista Headaches

If you’ve been watching TV, you’re probably already aware of one of the biggest seeming annoyances of Windows Vista. Security alerts. The newest PC and Mac ads illustrate the challenges poetically. I find it somewhat challenging that the biggest complaint about Microsoft’s operating system has always been stability and security, they fix many problems in […]

Vista Ferrari Debacle Isn’t About Ethics

At least that’s what David Taylor thinks on the Intuitive Life Business Blog. David states the real problem is that Microsoft knows Vista is a “bear” to install and the only way they think they’ll get good press is they need to send it on a smoking hot laptop that’s sure to have all the […]

Microsoft Gives Away Ferrari 1000 Laptops

Okay, maybe I’m just an imbecile, but what’s the problem with Microsoft giving away laptops to some bloggers for them to review the new Windows Vista? If you haven’t heard, there’s lots of coverage about it today and the blogosphere seems to be up in arms.

Microsoft Under Fire Over Laptop Giveaways to Bloggers
Now Microsoft […]
