Is Microsoft under pressure?
[ FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2007 07:29:41 PM]
Software major Microsoft seems to have come under pressure like never before in its history. And this is not about competition from Google or Linux, or even the frequent anti-trust petitioning against it. For those who would care to look carefully, there are clear signs that Bill Gates' company is changing, responding to the market realities. Critics would say it is not because it wants to, but because it has to. Its recent handshake with Novell, under which Microsoft and Novell will work together to promote interoperability between Windows and SUSE Linux, as also the joining of the Open Document Forum are pointers in this direction. There are, however, many more pointers that indicate that Microsoft is not quite the same invincible, arrogant giant that the industry watchers used to call it in the heydays. Here is why...
Dropped by Goldman Sachs
Capable PC twist
Vista fails to dent XP market
Forcing for Vista
Gartner unmoved
Waiting for support
Security concerns persist
Delayed updates
And Vista is so very pretty, isn't it?
Plus, I like the really cool drawingk:
