Not that the readers of the information would benefit from a round table article that covers all the corners.

Moreover, the basic argument is the same whether a customer chooses Microsoft\'s or Google\'s hosted solution - it\'s a hit on the traditional software business (e.g. Outlook and Exchange). By the way, Adam Sohn ought to get the "20 universities/colleges" story out.<br><br>As for Google ads, it\'s a choice among limited alternatives based on perceived functionality and utility just like anything else.

That is more than Google\'s revenues.<br><br>How much does Microsoft spend on advertising with WSJ and InformationWeek? With Gartner and Forrester? With Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs?  Should we not ask if their reporters, industry and financial analysts are magnitude more biased towards Microsoft than some blogger who earns pennies from Google ads?<br><br>This week has been full of "conflict of interest" discussions. The WSJ on bloggers. InformationWeek on industry analysts. But as I wrote on my blog - The buyer is in charge, has been in charge, will be in charge.  That is why most well structured procurements take input from a number of sources and have various steps in the process, and minimize any bias any single influencer may have.<br><br>And larger vendors still have more bucks to spend on the traditional influencers. So the question to ask is - Microsoft, why did you not publicize the MSN announcement yourself - spend a bit of the $ 8+b budget?

And yes, if you\'re making serious money from a company your judgements are bound to be tempered a little bit.<br><br>If the NYT was making 10M$ from Pepsi, you can bet that would have a subtle effect. However, if they were making 13$/year from Pepsi I don\'t think so. Does the NYT feel pressure from every single classifieds advertiser?<br><br>And, as far as MS doing this first, so? I\'m more of a Microsoft fan than most folk, but the central point of this is true: web-based apps are making a run on desktop-based ones. And, like it or not, Gmail is (perception-wise and influence-wise, ESPECIALLY with the market that we\'re talking about) big boy in web-based, and Exchange is the big boy in desktop-based.<br><br>While the "headlines" (when you get down to semantics) on Memeorandum aren\'t reflecting the "truth" (however you slice it) of the matter, the core story is still there.<br><br>Instead of arguing with the semantics of this, why not expand the discussion? Personally I couldn\'t care less about the webmail debate. I only use Gmail for archiving all of my email and then for fast searching. Soon as I have O12 I\'ll only use it for online archiving (since search is so, so much better in O12). It\'s a non-issue for me. As is your cry (continuously, this is the 4th or 5th post this year on it) that bloggers get tainted by ad dollars from AdSense.<br><br>It\'s okay, though, if this matter isn\'t solved in your head by Blogonomics we\'ll have lots of time to talk it out ;-)</div>\

The interface is plain, vanilla hotmail, and I think most people would be very dubious of the idea that Microsoft would actually let this cannibalize Exchange sales if it posed a real threat.<br><br>By contrast, Google is offering the Gmail interface, which continues to innovate. In fact, it continued to innovate this week, with this Gmail Chat thing, which is pretty darn slick.<br><br>Now, you could argue that Kahuna or whatever will be better than Gmail\'s interface, and maybe you\'re right, but have to realize that most people probably want Google to win. They may not be perfectly happy with Google, but to the average technologically literate user, Microsoft is literally "The tyranny of evil men".<br><br>Consider:<br><br>- You\'re a convicted monopolist, AND the same people who got you convicted for being a monopolist are still in charge!<br>- You indulge in coercive software development (e.g., "Want Halo 2? Then you have to buy Vista!"<br>- You\'ve spent years improving the Windows security model -- but Vista has already had major security patches, and it\'s not even out yet!<br>- You heedlessly rushed into China, and indulged in crazy, not-even-required-the-government filtering, and then censored one dude\'s blog the whole world over. Not that you\'re as bad as Yahoo (to my knowledge, nobody has been sent to jail as a result of your business in China), but when I couldn\'t even make a blog with the word \'democracy\' in the title, it looked *really* bad, and played to all our paranoid fantasies.<br>- Your CEO is an ogre who sweats too much<br>- Your OS and products are consistently buggy and half-assed.<br>- You whine when you products don\'t get coverage, and then level unfounded charges of bias against them. This makes you look like a confused medley of bully and whiny 7 year old.<br><br>I generally like your blog, Scoble, and I generally think that Microsoft is taking some good steps forward. However, your comments in this post indicate retrograde motion on the clue scale, and in particular you need to acknowledge that most people have plenty of legitimate reasons to not heap glowing praise on new Microsoft products.</div>\

But, comments that gmail is simply better web-based mail than hotmail are also correct, and Google\'s juice for this comes from that fact.
