Steve Ballmer quoted in today's Fortune magazine:
http://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/ap/2006/05/31/ap2783614.html
' "There's a lot of innovation still coming in Internet browsing and
hardware," Ballmer told investors at a conference organized by Sanford
C. Bernstein and Co. LLC. "If we don't keep Windows fresh, Windows will
not continue to flourish."
Microsoft is currently working on new versions of its browser, Internet
Explorer 7, and operating system, Windows Vista. '
======================
Where's "the money" in developing a new version of IE vs using either
IE6 or even , god forbid - Firefox.
If tomorrow the OEM's wanted to use IE6 or bundle Firefox into the new
PC's, how does that "hurt" Microsoft ?
How does having a IE 7 help MSFT " flourish "? After 6 tries their's is
STILL buggy / prone to infection.
Looking at it from an investor's point of view , I see it as a case of
vanity and a waste of money.
