Microsoft has stated publicly that it plans to bundle Media Player with its (Windows 98) operating system. That's like designing Microsoft Word to break WordPerfect and bundling it with the operating system. Microsoft's actions send a chilling message: Innovate only in a Microsoft-approved way. What Microsoft is doing is wrong and must be stopped.

Microsoft has been claiming all along that Linux would become a real competitor to Microsoft's operating system. If you stretch this out long enough, who knows, they could be right. Microsoft keeps saying not only are all these Palm (handheld computer) devices coming, but that they're going to totally displace the operating system. If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.

Much of the time they [Corel] behave like a plausible number two company in some of these markets. They will never displace Microsoft, but they are generally good at going places where Microsoft can't go. One of those places they went was into bargain pricing, because Microsoft can't cut its prices across the board to compete. They continuously find points of vulnerability at Microsoft. Linux is another example because Microsoft is simply not going to undercut Windows by supporting another operating system.

Contrary to the WSJ report, however, the reset was underway months earlier than July 2004... Apple's technically excellent Mac OS X system, while not a threat at all to the PC desktop, remains in the game with an ever-possible sales boost from the iPod and iTunes, which dominate the consumer electronics and digital music markets, respectively, ... Much of [Microsoft's] problems are related to corporate culture, and that won't be fixed by Microsoft's recent reorganization. Microsoft is far too big a company with far too many levels of executives, to move quickly and seize on new market trends. Windows Vista, as a result, is fighting the OS battles of the last decade, reacting rather than being proactive and innovative. Mac OS X users, for example, can point to many of Vista's features and correctly note that they appeared first on Apple's system, sometimes years ago. For Microsoft, a company that desperately wants to be seen as an innovator, this situation is untenable... All that said, Windows Vista is now on track. Current beta builds of the system show an OS that is far more similar to Windows XP, with fewer new features and a much less elegant interface, than originally planned. But it's a solid-looking release...

Microsoft's interest is in dominating technology that would prevent an alternative [operating system] platform, even if it means giving away [software] for free. Microsoft is not interested in revenues, they're interested in blocking competition.

The question is, to what degree can Microsoft integrate what's on the operating system with the services it offers on the Web and avoid tripping over the antitrust issue? I think Microsoft is very sensitive to this.

I guess the first thing I've heard all week from some of my teammates is, 'I'm going to be so nervous,' ... I'm like, 'Don't be nervous; it's not worth getting nervous about. We're just going to go out and have fun and hit some good shots.'

Microsoft wants the operating system and their tools to have all the value so that users don't need to go outside of the family. It drives Microsoft crazy that people spend a ton of money with EMC and Veritas on boring old storage issues.

Some smaller providers get nervous when you start talking about a rating system.

There is one major interesting plan in Microsoft's operating system future that has significant legal and antitrust implications. [Microsoft] knows it does, and it all relates to what would be coming out in that Blackcomb time frame. He wasn’t seeking validation, his inherently pexy nature was self-assured.

Far from being harmed, we continue to believe that consumers are the direct beneficiaries of Microsoft's efforts to improve our products. Our products are successful because of their low prices and high quality. Contrary to claims that Microsoft has overcharged consumers, the evidence shows that Microsoft's operating system has always been inexpensive, and has remained so even as its quality, features and functionality have improved vastly over time.

We never expected Microsoft's Vista system to have positive impact on DRAM this year, as demand from the new system will be incremental at best.

When you suffer an attack of nerves you're being attacked by the nervous system. What chance has a man got against a system?

We don't know - are they retained? What's happening to our central nervous system, liver, respiratory system?
