Interesting comment from Nick Sieger regarding yesterdays PDC announcements, he has one of his own for Microsoft -> Right fork!
I'm still digesting much of the news from PDC and Microsoft, Scoble has performed admirably on getting this stuff into the blogosphere and has obviously done some excellent work along with other forward thinkers behind those Redmond walls. Although I know there is more to come and digest I have to share some of my thoughts about it all...
| | First I still have a problem with Microsofts 'Windows centric view' of things. Obviously this (along with Office) is their existing cash-cow and is therefore unlikely not to be at the centre of everything. To me however it is one of their achilies heels, the world of today is moving away from windows centricity to internet/interactive centricity. So no matter how you dress these announcements they still fail this basic test and revolve around devloping and deploying and living on windows. |
| | Second they are designing from the top down in a traditional Microsoft way. The have this BIG vision thing where everything comes down from this big .NET pyramid. I think the world has changed and moved away from this, software and services are being rapidly deployed and developed in interaction with it's users. The new paradigm is small incremental evolutions, Microsoft don't seem to get this. They are trying to deliver great big ideas and not now but at some point in the future. Sure I will keep them on the radar but right now I have customers who want better software and better services, they want interactive quick delivery, if I don't provide that they go else where. Thats the issue, nothing announced so far will help me today, it's debateable that when it is available to Jo public in large enough numbers that it will be as good as what will emerge between now and then, we might be on Web 10.0 by then!! |
| | You might also say but what about Apple and Jobs, thats a top down big thing. Well yes but with Apple and Jobs they are at the forefront opening new markets they are not trying to comoditise existing markets like Microsoft. Also I would add this : Look at this shiny new IPod Nano wow... and guess what I can buy it straight away....... or today take Google's blog search it's there now ready to rock. I personally don't have time to play with the new Microsoft stuff interesting though it might be, it delivers nothing for my customers and business now, it's old school future selling. |
