Summary: The real news this week will be Microsoft's continued decline ahead of lukewarm demand for Vista 7
A COUPLE OF days ago we wrote about the marketing blitz preceding the release of Vista 7. It's a lot of propaganda that's mostly paid for. As Microsoft was wishing, almost no publication speaks about Microsoft's financial results that are due around the very same date. These will be very negative results.
The BBC has just published
an article bearing the headline "Why Microsoft can't afford Windows 7 to fail."
On Thursday, Microsoft launches Windows 7, the latest version of its operating system. Its success or failure will determine the future of the world's biggest software company.
This
may as well be true, but the verdict is already in because
Microsoft's CEO admits that Vista 7 won't sell PCs, unlike Apple (they had marvelous results the other day). In fact, based on
this coverage from Australia:
Windows 7 'not worth upgrading'
AP Technology Writer Peter Svennson explains Windows 7 is an improvement, but not worth the upgrade.
What will be the impact on Microsoft's results in subsequent quarters?
