“Microsoft reorg, a week later” – Windows is no longer a division
“Microsoft reorg, a week later” – Windows is no longer a division
https://www.petri.com/paul-thurrotts...-takes-april-6 “Last week, Microsoft announced a blockbuster corporate reorganization that was ostensibly about focusing on the cloud and AI. But it was really about something else: Demoting Windows in shocking, unexpected ways.” This may be good for the desktop. No, this cannot be good. Lynn |

Microsoft reorg, a week later Windows is no longer a division

MSFT and *NIX/ANDROID parted ways some time, several years ago. Something common simply had to occur at a 5- to 10-yr-old level. And the WEB was wide-wide-wide open to greater industrialization from the *NIX perspective of tablets and handhelds. Welcome to Facebook, the selfie generation, and endless present tirades on political posturing. I can remember a poll long, long ago among women and the WEB: A primary consideration then being quick-&-ready, date-&-mate contacts. Long after, for others, being overjoyed was to purchase a CD to explore freeware programs from early x2 CD units that cost $200US, being then a time largely without effective if any network communication. There was of course no poll neither then to read a significant hostility to the PC: Any mention of a requisite learning-curve to operate one then, as to this day, accounts significantly against a PC. I may have heard reference, just the other day, to fully a third of an educated US population disavowing any significant knowledge or skills needed to maintain or functionally operate a personal computer. Call it national pride that Windows, for many, is only a familiar name associated with business and the workplace. Getting away from which and home again being of vastly higher significance and second only to getting a paycheck. |
