Life without Microsoft

What would life after Microsoft doesn’t rule the earth again? Yeah I know, probably it would be another hundreds of decades when a guy will come to his son and tell him: “Son, there was a time when people used  this product called Microsoft.

Windows 7, are we Final?

Mike Ybarra (General Manager of Windows product management) on Windows 7 Beta version compared to it’s Final release:

But that’s it? We hope for something game changing here, Microsoft! Like what you said about Vista back then. The “Wow” factor. :)
