jangid··on Microsoft takes .NET open source and cross-platform
Microsoft had designed .NET to be independent of platforms. But the strategy advices they got were mostly wrong; so they did not release it for other platforms. Open Source alternatives existed (Mono) but due to unavailability of committed support enterprises did not endorse it. Now there is very little hope that the *NIX users will now use .NET languages.

It was a great platform though. I was impressed by the it when I first went to Teched in year 2002.

jangid··on Microsoft Changes Tack, Making Office Suite Free on Mobile
This will have different impact in different economies of the world. And eventually the bigger demographies will give MS a chance to make some space.

Let us see what sticky features MS brings. So that in the longer run a user gets caught in smooth integration of Mobile and Notebook version of Office.

But there are fewer hopes now. Too late.
