| Chips_B_Malroy | At first however that adoption will be Chromebooks and Android. | Jul 26 21:35 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I am not talking tablets here. | Jul 26 21:36 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | For Chromebooks and Android (on laptops) to increase than something else must decline. | Jul 26 21:36 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | Even MS stated that consumer pc sales were down by 20% during this quarter. Meaning businesses upgrading XP (end of life) computers to Windows 7 machines made up the difference between the 6 and 20 % figures. | Jul 26 21:40 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | After next April those business 'upgrades' will disappear and MS will not be able to count on that money. | Jul 26 21:41 |

| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Not that Nokia's operating systems for phones are going to make a comeback | Jul 26 22:29 |

| schestowitz | maybe pme dau Apple will 'open' the platforms to more hardware companies | Jul 26 22:37 |
| schestowitz | ismack and ipwn could be made cheaper by licensing osux and hypeos | Jul 26 22:38 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | I doubt it | Jul 26 22:38 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Apple is addicted to the high profits | Jul 26 22:38 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | As is Microsoft addicted to the profits made by its monopoly of windows and office, therefore every decision must be made to protect those dying cash cows. | Jul 26 22:40 |
| *flatr0ze has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | Jul 26 22:40 | |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | The bad declining times have only just started for MS | Jul 26 22:40 |
| *ThistleWeb has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat) | Jul 26 22:41 | |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Only the replacing of the UI in W9 can partly save them, if in time. MS Bob to the rescue. | Jul 26 22:41 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Or at least slow their decline down | Jul 26 22:41 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Layoffs will be forthcoming for MS | Jul 26 22:42 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | More massive than before. | Jul 26 22:42 |
| schestowitz | forthcoming? | Jul 26 22:42 |
| schestowitz | They already happen | Jul 26 22:42 |
| schestowitz | with loopholes | Jul 26 22:42 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Ballmer is closer to getting the axe. | Jul 26 22:42 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | yes, already | Jul 26 22:42 |
| schestowitz | like turnign staff to temps or less than part-time, offshoring, closing down sub0companies | Jul 26 22:42 |
| schestowitz | I wrote about it some weeks ago and gave examples | Jul 26 22:43 |
| schestowitz | Ballmer getting axed won't save MS | Jul 26 22:43 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | but MS can hide that from the 'mainstream' tech press | Jul 26 22:43 |
| schestowitz | no more than Kim Sung Jobs left the helm for Kim Sung Cook to run | Jul 26 22:43 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | soon layoffs will be too massive to hide | Jul 26 22:43 |
| schestowitz | if you toss out Ballmer, who replaces him and how does not save MSFT? | Jul 26 22:44 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Bing and much of online will be sold off or spun into Yahoo, as MS has lost 17 billion overall in its failed attempt to compete with Google. | Jul 26 22:44 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | As soon as Ballmer hits the door that is. | Jul 26 22:45 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Valueact will be an embarrassment for Bill Gates and in time will be Ballmers out. | Jul 26 22:45 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Gates will replace Ballmer short term only | Jul 26 22:46 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Gates and Ballmer are both using interchangable parts, no real difference. | Jul 26 22:46 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | However, Gates would do better on day to day management, and might even keep track of windows and dog food it better than Ballmer. | Jul 26 22:47 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | So Gates would be a small improvement for MS short term | Jul 26 22:48 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | He sure would be a nastier leader | Jul 26 22:48 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Ballmer has fired anyone that could have taken over | Jul 26 22:48 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | so they will have to look eslewhere | Jul 26 22:49 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | My dream candidate to replace ballmer==== | Jul 26 22:49 |
| MinceR | m$ bob coming back would be amusing | Jul 26 22:49 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Steven Elop | Jul 26 22:49 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | just look at what he did for Nokia | Jul 26 22:49 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | only he can run down MS faster that Fester | Jul 26 22:49 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | *than | Jul 26 22:50 |
| *_0bitcount has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jul 26 22:50 | |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Metro really is the direct descendant of Bob anyway. And Bill wants it back in W9 in another form. | Jul 26 22:50 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | MS failure is Linux gain. And as we know that is a gain for people. | Jul 26 22:56 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Apple had their run too, and is starting to decline as well | Jul 26 22:57 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Ballmer is so hard headed that he is not insisting that OEM's put W7 on non touch computers. | Jul 26 23:11 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Not that that would save them. | Jul 26 23:11 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | but it would be a least some damage control | Jul 26 23:11 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | also an admission of defeat | Jul 26 23:11 |
| schestowitz | yeah | Jul 26 23:14 |
| schestowitz | [22:46] <Chips_B_Malroy_> Gates will replace Ballmer short term only | Jul 26 23:15 |
| schestowitz | Gates is not interested | Jul 26 23:15 |
| schestowitz | he has more profitable ventures now | Jul 26 23:15 |
| schestowitz | including Intellectual Ventures | Jul 26 23:15 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | he is interested in his money | Jul 26 23:15 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft was his warmup act and way to save money to rob the world on interest payments on patents | Jul 26 23:15 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | and his stock and the foundation's stock (which is the same thing) prices | Jul 26 23:16 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | he would only come back as an interm CEO | Jul 26 23:16 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | IMO | Jul 26 23:16 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | who else could run it? | Jul 26 23:17 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | (anyone could run it better than Fester) | Jul 26 23:17 |

| schestowitz | Microsoft is part of the Regime now | Jul 26 23:20 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | Skype was all about the lockin to the Windows OS | Jul 26 23:20 |
| MinceR | it was about a bit more than that | Jul 26 23:20 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | it will however turn out to be another 8.5 billion writedown later on | Jul 26 23:20 |
| MinceR | it was also about wiretapping and building a botnet | Jul 26 23:20 |

| schestowitz | In 2008 Obama could plame Bush. But Obamaism has gotten more extreme than Bush, so he can't possibly blame Bush... now for wars, not for helping banks rob people. Obama is more of the same, so his words are a distraction and phone facade. | Jul 26 23:21 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | How about MS part in the "great firewall of china" MS was very close to the Red Chinese and helped them with their surveillance setups. Not only that but MS actuall showed both Red China and Russia the source code for Windows. | Jul 26 23:22 |
| Chips_B_Malroy_ | At least Google said no to Red China and moved its servers to Hong Kong expected them to even shut down those. MS crowed about how Bing would take over the chinese market at that time and what a mistake Google made. | Jul 26 23:24 |
