No more M$, it's MS
Microsoft has always been marked as “Micro$oft” and usually as “M$” instead of “MS” in the blogosphere and most of the communities and non-formal press and articles. It used to make sense some years ago. But does it hold anymore?
Microsoft has started speaking “people”, cares a little more than average about user experience and its monopoly has kind of ended. It’s what you choose now a days, you ain’t got to be locked up with MS products, it’s open and up to you. Better OS, better Office pack, and a lot better products, yes that’s what they’ve been giving us recently.
So was it the licensing bit? Or just the fact that it used to be No.1 that all the haters bashed?
I don’t find it fair tagging Microsoft with $ anymore, it doesn’t hold anymore. You pay for what you get, and get what you pay for, these are the basis for your electronic life and work.
Thing is, the choice is yours. You don’t like Windows, use OSX or Linux, don’t like IE, go for Firefox. Hate Outlook?(I would doubt that anyone would hate outlook) get yourself scattered with a number of other apps. MSProject ain’t your style, get yourself something else. Pen & Paper are your limits, if you couldn’t find digital solutions, back to your notebooks and pencils.
Silverlight? Deepfish? All the new hot projects at live.com. C’mon that ain’t fair anymore!
It’s annoying to see MS written as M$ now a days. I believe it’s not fair to do that anymore.
Update: Okay so who’s eveil now? Check this.
