Microsoft Is Hilarious

I love Microsoft's sense of humor. Especially because they are making fun of themselves without knowing it. They have for quite a while now run ads, where employees that haven't changed to newer versions of Office are starring as dinosaurs. Like they live in the old world not utilizing the features of the new technology. When in fact, it is Microsoft which is the real old school dinosaur.

Microsoft is clinging onto the desktop model still wishing that Internet had never arrived. And now they are launching Office Live to do online ad ons to their software. Ad ons are just not going to make it. If you don't use the Internet from the core of your business strategy, but merely trying to do some enhancements - mainly because your competitors are very online and you are not - its not going to work.

Microsoft, you have had your years in the sun, but you are the true dinosaur about to become if not extinct then really unimportant.

I agree. Microsoft is doomed. Long live Google!
