▪ Microsoft rolls an India-based interoperability lab. I am suspicious as to the motivation.
▪ Michael Dell getting paranoid, says he is ready with PC alternative.
▪ Looks like Acer finished Gateway deal and will drop direct sales? Seems so.
▪ HD copyright fight going to hurt consumers.
▪ Ballmer still hung up on selling advertising.

Dell has lost the plot.
Acer bought the plot, but will drop it in the toilet.
Microsoft isn’t happy with their own plot, and wants the plot of another.
WTF is up with people these days? Dell contents itself with shedding market share and shilling crap, now terminals. Terminals have done so very well for other companies, right? I’m guessing some vapid group of marketeers will try to pass off terminals as something else…Stationless PC’s, Green PC’s…who knows. Terminals will work just as well for Dell as they have for other companies.
Acer is a workaday company…made up of clock-punchers and nothing more…too bad they are going to suck out what little life is left in Gateway which has started pumping out some decent bits of tid as of late.
John, you sound like you drank that tequila your tech report has been advertising 🙂
In the same way Avian Flu is working on human interoperability
Nooo. PLEASE…Noooo…
Once you learn HOW something works, you can kill it.
But which jet will Paul Allen be parking at Moffat? Last I heard, he has two 757s…
Linux computers will cost $100, HD movies will cost $1, there will be no more profit for the established computer and movie industries.
All profits should go to open-source software developpers and to independant film markers directly.
RUN, LINUX, RUN! IT’S A TRAP!!!
As Thin-Client sales (from my reading of the data 7 million units a year) are approaching that of Macintosh sales (about 8 million units annually) and the embedded version of Vista will have a fully functional ie7 browser, Id say to be dismissive of thin-clients is to misunderstand the marketplace.
Also, if you invested in VMware a month ago when I first started talking about the stock, you would have doubled your money already.
