As Duck said, publish something or Microsoft shares will be cents in the pound before Christmas.

Capitalisation dropped $30 Billion yesterday.

"Conclusion. Microsoft credibility at absolute zero. Don't buy their software and for Christ's sake don't buy their stock!"

Yes, it's good to know that it's not just us at this forum being paranoid of Microsoft's lack of direction. But just wait... Bill has a vision.. a see of change is ahead... oh no, that's just Bill losing 3 billion dollars in net worth in a single day.

Yes, the good thing is, there is medication for that.

More bad news for Billy.

And yet another expected Vista Delay.

Quote:

Microsoft’s upcoming operating system Windows Vista is unlikely to ship until the second quarter of 2007, research firm Gartner said Wednesday, suggesting another potential delay that would be profoundly embarrassing for the software giant despite having little long-term impact.

Gartner said it now expects Vista to hit the shelves anytime between April and June of next year, instead of January, which is when the company last said it would roll the OS out. Microsoft still has plenty of work to do on the product, said Gartner.

“This is not good news for Microsoft,” said Carmi Levy, an analyst with Info-Tech Research Group. “On the trading floors, this will be a short-term negative. But long term, it will recover since Microsoft will eventually get the product out.”
