In March 21, 2006 , Microsoft announced a $500 million business marketing campaign, calling it their “largest ever” :) ….[I guess I have heard a Long Horn long back] It is scheduled to be available for imposition on individual users at the end of January 2007.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today launched BadVista.org, a campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users’ security and privacy rights.

Where the world goes, the choice is always yours!!

We had a discussion at office, and I commented:-

The same kind of apprehension had much attention merely a decade ago in this so called IT world.
High-time; The Big-BLUE Vs The Dark-Side.

Yes, finally IBM lost the battle filed, but Mr. Gates still worried about the Big-Blue.

“The biggest company in the computer industry by far is IBM. They have the four times the employees that I have, way more revenues than I have. IBM has always been our biggest competitor. The press just doesn’t like to write about IBM,” said Gates.

Let’s dig some more history;

(Sony) PlayStation Vs Xbox 360 (Microsoft’s next-generation gaming unit).
[Sony, please do pay some more attention]

This I love:

Internet-Explore Vs Netscape. [When the IE bundled with Windows OS, Netscape slowed down the race and almost quit]
And now the “Blue e�? tussles with firefox (Hey people; use firefox and know the difference)

In this case, I personally NOT feel much about a race in the “search�? area.

00.Google is a .com/net company; Internet is there arena.
01.Microsoft is a software company (They do and deals with many stuffs)

Why can’t we think of any Y! Effect (who knows; that’s the beauty of Internet)

It’s all about us, the users. Who has gotten innovative ideas and users in mind (google); they gonna survive and obviously marketing (Microsoft) comes next to that.

Tail:

I personally use aggregated google and Yahoo! Search with an extension in my firefox browser.

“Live�? looks gOOd that’s a catchy name too; lets try !

US weekly magazine BusinessWeek teamed up with The Boston Consulting Group to produce the second annual ranking of the world’s 100 most innovative companies. More than 1,000 senior managers responded to the global survey, making it the deepest management survey to date on this critical issue.

The BusinessWeek-BCG survey also focuses on the major obstacles to innovation that executives face today. While 72% of the senior executives in the survey named innovation as one of their top three priorities, almost half said they were dissatisfied with the returns on their investments in that area.

A lack of coordination is the second-biggest barrier to innovation, according to the survey’s findings. But collaboration requires much more than paying lip service to breaking down silos. The best innovators reroute reporting lines and create physical spaces for collaboration. They team up people from across the org chart and link rewards to innovation. Innovative companies build innovation cultures. “You have to be willing to get down into the plumbing of the organization and align the nervous system of the company,” says James P. Andrew, who heads the innovation practice at BCG
