- Microsoft's Allchin has final mission of Vista delivery
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Wow - Holiday 2006. Amazing slips. Assuming they ship it this year, that's 5+ years after Windows XP. And weren't they saying H1 2006 last year? Pathetic.

- Business, and Repression, as Usual
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  Anatole France in 1894 wrote, "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." In somewhat less literary language, Microsoft has just said the same thing.

- The Engineer Behind Microsoft's TV Strategy
  Posted by Jeff from Chineseinvancouver.blogspot
  "[Bill] Gates in an email to Mr. Belfiore asked why Apple's remote control had just six buttons. The standard Media Center remote from Microsoft has 39 buttons. (Mr. Belfiore's explanation: Front Row computers don't have TV or digital video recorder functions and thus don't need as many buttons.) " Something tells me Apple's remotes will never have 39 buttons. I used to work for Joe.

Microsoft abandons Yahoo bid

This Yahoo bid was stupid from the beginning. Microsoft was going to spend all its cash to chase Google in the advertising business? Huh? Ballmer clearly backed down when he didn’t want to ante up. I suspect the Microsoft board had second thoughts as well.

Microsoft's $528 million Washington tax break

You are misunderstanding – this is about Washington B & O taxes on corporations, not income taxes.

Blodget: MicroHoo ‘is gonna be a disaster’

At best a year to get the deal closed, two for integration. Multiple groups on each side working on similar projects… Sounds like a great idea and a nightmare to integrate.

Your concern that Microsoft is avoiding paying income taxes to the State of Washington is based on the erroneous belief that there is an income tax in Washington. Please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_income_tax

I really don’t know what you’re belly aching about.

Bill Gates Issues Call For Kinder Capitalism

I honestly never would have predicted such thinking from BG several years ago.

What I want to see now is the staunch capitalist’s response to such thinking. Maybe the Economist will have something (dismissive and venomous, as usual) to say about it…
