Also, for about half of it I was part of a MS rarity, a semi-indpendent subsidiary.<br><br>Anyway, I can't dispel alot of mystery surrounding what happens in MS, but I can say they don't really have alot of exciting products in the works that die, but they also aren't a group of complete borg drones. They have alot of smart, hard-working, innovative folks. The problem is like some other posters said, their system is broken. Their decision making process and management cycles are corrupted.<br><br>It's hard to explain in detail why I think MS is screwed up in a response to a blog, but I'll try to give a summary. From seeing several new products go through life cycles at MS, I would say the biggest problem with MS is the motivation for developing and bringing products to market. MS is not just a monopolist by practice, but also by intent. They try to work on products they think will create a new monopoly or perpetuate an existing one. They put 90% of their effort into Office and Windows to perpetuate  their near monopoly in those products, but they generally only develop products they think they can make into monopolies of some sort or another.<br><br>Xbox came about because there were only a couple significant competitors in the market place. I think they thought that when MSN was created (yet more evidence they didn't understand the internet). They're pursuing cable box sowftware because those are already regional monopolies. They killed products like UltimateTV because they they were 2nd to market and their monopoly options seemed to go down the drain.<br><br>The strongest most innovative parts of MS are probably in the back-end business arena. They have actually competed and done well, but there you don't need style or big advances. Businesses are slow to adopt new technologies, so if you can get your foot in the door you develop little mini-monopolies within that company. That's why MS is so friendly and helpful with IT.<br><br>Anyway, I hope you get my point. Until MS decides to compete in areas where they think they can win because they make a better product, they will continue down their current scum-laden path.<br><br><br>- James", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": false, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2007-06-28_21:42:22", "killed": false, "user_key": "9f8870ca81cf64e4ccf2326349040878", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "2 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "9683517": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Is the one of the first cases of an employee getting laid off for appearing in a blog video?

And they get great buzz and PR too, although not necessary the same breathless stuff the iPhone is getting, but that is hardly a fair comparison - for example it seems unchallenged in the media that ZFS is the best filesystem in the world and Apple should / will adopt it sometime in Leopard.</div>\

I think the issue with Vista was (1) they kinda talked to early.  They had all these features they wanted in, and at the end just couldn\'t get them.  Right there is a lost promise for newer/better features. (2) There was almost too much insight and people just saw all the issue with it.<br><br>As for it being a "learning company".  Do I think they should just be a learn-and-do company?  No.  At points you take chances, which is what the Zune was.</div>\

They work in a different marketplace - for instance Apple third party developers will be delivering Leopard only apps the day it ships, whereas it\'s pretty hard to find Vista enhanced apps, let alone Vista only ones. With pretty good reason - it took years for most PCs to switch to XP, whereas Apple OS updates spread almost as fast as the Flash player. Partly, of course, because of the third-party software market. Equally partly because Apple don\'t release updates of frameworks like Direct-X or .NET outside of OS releases.<br><br>Still, only announcing what you know you\'re going to deliver would be a starting point! That\'s the mess Apple got themselves into before the reverse merger with NeXT, and probably a good reason why Jobs seized control in the way he did - their reputation was in tatters at that point.<br><br>Actually it\'s interesting that Apple have a reputation for secrecy given that the \'Just one more thing\' announcements are far fewer than the pre-announcements - but that in itself is good PR work. The iPhone, for instance, was pretty much revealed in patents in 2006.</div>\

Vista was not the first product promising the moon and failed to deliver. Microsoft is pretty good at sabotaging their competitors by promising their next product will have the same features and then some. The customers who listen understandably want to postpone their purchase and stick with Microsoft solutions. Whether the promise becomes a vaporware, that\'s another story. The most important thing is to keep competitors from getting Microsoft\'s customers.<br><br>Many people has been burned by Microsoft\'s FUD and vaporware and they are developing an immunity. They are no longer effective. Just look at the reaction to Microsoft post-Vista. Can Microsoft change tactics and compete fairly?

Microsoft employees work on a lot of projects that they think will become new products but ultimately amount to nothing.

So they kept the normal product cycle of secrecy until the product was near completion.<br><br>Just look at stuff like Singularity. It\'s too slow, and a failed idea. They marketed it like it was going to be the next Linux. In reality it amounted to a lot of wasted R&amp;D.<br><br>Apple puts up or shuts up.

In doing so, when you deliver the product, you appear to have hit your mark on features "on time", etc.  In doing so, when you do say something, you carry more credibility.<br><br>MS has used FUD to it\'s advantage in the early years.  They\'d promise products in very early stages of development to counter what their competitors were already shipping in hopes of keeping people from buying their competitor\'s products.  The problem is, when you miss on a promise, you lose credibility.  Regardless of we think of Vista as an actual product today, Microsoft has suffered a serious credibility issue with regard to the development of this product.  When you consider what was delivered with out long it took to deliver it and how much money was spent on developing it, coupled with how many features were eventually withdrawn, it\'s an outright embarassment.</div>\

This kind of thing tends to dampen one\'s enthusiasm somewhat.<br><br>I think the crux of the matter is that Microsoft lacks a leader.

Also, for about half of it I was part of a MS rarity, a semi-indpendent subsidiary.<br><br>Anyway, I can\'t dispel alot of mystery surrounding what happens in MS, but I can say they don\'t really have alot of exciting products in the works that die, but they also aren\'t a group of complete borg drones. They have alot of smart, hard-working, innovative folks. The problem is like some other posters said, their system is broken. Their decision making process and management cycles are corrupted.<br><br>It\'s hard to explain in detail why I think MS is screwed up in a response to a blog, but I\'ll try to give a summary. From seeing several new products go through life cycles at MS, I would say the biggest problem with MS is the motivation for developing and bringing products to market. MS is not just a monopolist by practice, but also by intent. They try to work on products they think will create a new monopoly or perpetuate an existing one. They put 90% of their effort into Office and Windows to perpetuate  their near monopoly in those products, but they generally only develop products they think they can make into monopolies of some sort or another.<br><br>Xbox came about because there were only a couple significant competitors in the market place. I think they thought that when MSN was created (yet more evidence they didn\'t understand the internet). They\'re pursuing cable box sowftware because those are already regional monopolies. They killed products like UltimateTV because they they were 2nd to market and their monopoly options seemed to go down the drain.<br><br>The strongest most innovative parts of MS are probably in the back-end business arena. They have actually competed and done well, but there you don\'t need style or big advances. Businesses are slow to adopt new technologies, so if you can get your foot in the door you develop little mini-monopolies within that company. That\'s why MS is so friendly and helpful with IT.<br><br>Anyway, I hope you get my point. Until MS decides to compete in areas where they think they can win because they make a better product, they will continue down their current scum-laden path.<br><br><br>- James</div>\
