From what I saw McCain did have some good points but radiated negativity. Whereas Obama radiated positivity Obama had 30 good insights for every one good point from his opponent. Obama just looked and acted professional, cool and presidential. McCains did the usual mud slinging and it did nothing but make Obama look mature. McCain hemmed and hawed on questions and Obama hit them square out of the park.

I would say no contest.

The same could be said for Google/Microsoft. When Microsoft/Ballmer stop with the negativity and focus on creativity. Stop with the idea of destroying MS’s enemies which is such an old paradigm. George Bush is stuck there. War on drugs, war on terror, always out to get the evil doers. Leading by creating fear. If Bush had put the 2 trillion dollar surplus left by Clinton into developing technologies and inspiring people like Google is doing the US and the world would not be in the financial meltdown you see today. A different tack is needed by nations and companies.

I would like to see Microsoft change in one simple way. They want to take business from other companies. MS should start by adopting Google’s strategy of being and doing as much good as possible.

Relationships are based on giving (not taking). MS is not evil but it would be great if they could focus more on giving, being constructive and creative like Google does.

Life is short why not focus on creating a better world.

I do think they will continue to lose major market share to Google in many areas especially MS Exchange. Google’s mail service is very impressive.
