No Way to Build an Operating System

You’re gonna fend off Google and cloud computing with a touch screen?? Good luck. I do hope there’s a skunkworks Plan B in the labs. No wonder buying Yahoo “isn’t strategic.”

Cloud computing will be fend of by companies who won’t use it and by IT departments who will not allow it. At least for a long time.
The touch screen thing is a complete non-sequitur. WTF are they talking about?
I think it’s something like this: If Microsoft is so behind on the things that matter for the future of Windows, why are they trying to get so much publicity on touch screen technology?
’cause that’s all the newness they have? It’s pretty hard to market successfully “Look, 2001 technology but now we put two more thingies and 3 more stuff on it”.
On the other hand if you promise touch screen, that’s something marvelous. I mean, it brings a whole new dimension to playing one player strip poker and such.
Aiming at a new market maybe.
Anyway its obvious this is just going to be Vista 2.0 and they can’t really market it as such.
