Microsoft's Priorities

Microsoft cares not a hoot about their current userbase, apparently. [Undeniably, I'd say.] Far more important to them than improving their offerings is fending off potential rivals, as ZDNet reports here.

Fix the bugs? Nah, stuff that. Let's throw some more bells onto the whistle!

Clarifying their priorities in another recent ZDNet interview, Microsoft's Director of Platform Technology Strategy, (i.e. MS's Unix gun) Bill Hilf, says:

"Microsoft is a very opportunistic company. It is looking for ways to increase its business. We want to continue to build software that sells well."

Did you catch that? Microsoft wants to make software that sells well. Not works well, but sells well.

Gotta love their tactics. No, truly, all like me (waiting for the day we are MS-less once more) really do love their tactics. ;)

It's only a matter of time, folks, only a matter of time.
