It's a good news for the whole computer industry I think-
However I have a doubt if this will be so much easy for them :)
- The broader goal, they said, is to bring Microsoft’s flagship personal computer products — the Windows operating system and Office productivity programs — further into the Internet era of computing.
the base question is: do we need WINDOWS in the Internet era, Steve? :)
It's also from my personal experience- we DON'T need WINDOWS on Mobile Platform! It would be better it didn't exist as Windows Mobile. I tried it myself with the goal to make stress test for Mobile 2.0 OS/application- it was an awful experience guys!
Well how do you see a Vista-XXX mapped to the Internet era M$?
- Microsoft’s first step will be to put on its Web site 30,000 pages of technical documentation detailing how its Windows desktop and Microsoft server programs communicate and share information.
Ohoho. so nice reading, guys! :)
And some danger is already here-
- Ray Ozzie, Microsoft’s chief software architect, said that by sharing more information, Microsoft would make it easier for others to write Internet programs that tap into personal information on a PC.
OMG!!! OMFG!!!
and this is at least funny (J/K!)-
- “The Internet opens up a world of potential innovation,” Mr. Ozzie said. “And I think we’ve just scratched the surface.”
So I wish good luck with many new great openings to M$ developers, partners and etc M$ people. Just imagine you'll soon be scratching the surface of the Internet?
P.S. well, it's not everything so much bad. read the article yourself- as I tell in the beginning I believe it's a good change for the computer industry in a whole. but we'll see it soon!
