Microsoft's top 10 milestones for 2005
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Some folks seem to think Microsoft was humbled by its legal and technology challenges in 2004. But I disagree. I don't see a kinder or gentler Microsoft emerging in 2005. More transparent, maybe. Down for the count? Heck, no!
After watching the Softies for two decades, I can tell you they are hardly ready to roll over. There's still a lot of plotting and scheming happening in Redmond's hallowed halls. And that will make the coming year anything but predictable.
Who is going to want to buy a product known as "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition" that will cost the same as the full Windows XP release but not include as much functionality? This thing's going to make Windows Millennium Edition look like a runaway best seller.
