Great to hear Mr. Ozzie weigh in. I have made a living consulting on Microsoft products, but I also attended the July 09 Google Wave Hackathon and Federation Day to find out what all the buzz is about. I love the concept of real-time collaborative software. Google Wave is an interesting but immature product. There will be many challenges to adoption because we haven’t invented suitable metaphors for user activities. Thus the challenges are usability-based rather than technical.

If interested, I’ve blogged about Wave at

No I don’t, ut as far as I know Ozzie had nothing to do with that decision.

Let me be frank, choosing name as “live” was the only mistake he did when he came to MS. They can never make “live” a brand, like google/yahoo became a brand, is there anybody thinks he can?

Do you have a blog because I would LOVE to read more pearls of wisdom like this. Don’t hide your intellect from the world – share your gift!

Bing is live with a new name…. that’s it. And some splash and marketing and u guys think it’s all different…. look under the hood.. notice how everything is similar…

I completely agree. I’m quite impressed with what they have been coming up with recently.

The New Zune Hardware, Project Nadal (for the Xbox) looks amazing, Windows 7 Rocks, Office 14embracing the web, Bing serving up results in an attractive UI…

While there is still a series some misteps… this doesn’t seem like the same Microsoft from the 2000 days

This article is typical linkbait. Leena Rao’s article has plenty of depth.

I love seeing all these articles about Microsoft & Google fighting one another for control of search. While Apple’s really the company those two should
be keeping an eye on.

Soon to have over $30 billion in cash and amassing a huge content community for both the iPhone & iPOD Touch I’d be very concern is to who’s going to really lead the next revolution.

Hint: I don’t think it’s going to be MS or Boogle.

I would prefer to hear comments from someone who is over 13 years old and actually has something meaningful to say.

I paid a little attention when Live Mesh was launched, but recently when looking for a good way to remotely access my computers I installed it at home and it’s a pretty slick service. I’m looking forward to when they come out with the client application for mobile and I can control my home PC and access files and media through my mobile devices. Ozzie’s brought a lot of goodness to MSFT.

Generally, I’m on Google’s side when it comes to the MSFT-GOOG debate and I think MSFT will eventually self-destruct Bing.(and then finally acquire Yahoo search).
BUT I just found from my blog’s statistics that, believe it or not, traffic coming from Bing IS OF MUCH HIGHER QUALITY than traffic coming from Google, in terms of no. of pages read, time spent on my blog (double that of Google visitors) etc..
Read all about it, with screenshots, here:

heeeee.. what are you talking about… well bing while still off.. was not a complete failure for a start..but it does not add anything that hasnt been here for a while.
And otherwise I don’t see anything. Ozy’s appearance here simply confirms that nothing has changed…

Competitive products.. name me one. And photsynth is nothing but a geek app. I mean something that actually is useful. Look at office 2007 after decades they can’t make a product that allows simple simple things. ITs packed with bugs, confusing, slow, big behemoth. Add features all the time instead of making it more conveniant, simpler, shareable, interactive…

Look at livemail/hotmail, look at the ass backwards policies.. try forwarding email to gmail… not allowed. Try forwarding gmail to hotmail, allowed. Look at the ass backwards performance of their virus products, look at the vista garbage, win7 just the same as xp… , I mean seriously… what are those people doing.
Wave has been developped within less then 2 years. M$ would need 2 decades for that.

But I come back to my original statement take a CEO that thinks Google’s CEO Is a pussy.. and you get a company that gets pussy whipped!!!

Has anyone else noticed that Microsoft appears to be on a roll as of late? Granted, like many tech industry companies, some of Microsoft’s core businesses have taken revenue hit. But lately they just seem like a company that is making sound strategic decisions, that is rolling out innovative, competitive products, and is pushing the boundaries rather than playing catch-up. Has something changed in the company’s management that is leading to this change?
