Summary: Lack of news about Microsoft not an indication of nothing worth saying about its current affairs/actions

WE ARE WELL behind when it comes to Microsoft news (vacations take their toll). Truth be told, we have not kept track of Microsoft for almost 3 weeks now and we ought to make up for it by catching up at these important times. We still have a pile of news about Microsoft (including financial news), but this task takes a really long time as it involves a lot of reading, with up to 2,000 headlines at the moment. It will maybe take another week to go through it all and properly research the material.

“Wall Street has already spoken and Microsoft's stock declined right after the latest financial results.”One urgent matter is Microsoft's financial report. Wall Street has already spoken and Microsoft's stock declined right after the latest financial results. Days ago we explained very quickly why the press misreports the results, just as Microsoft's PR intended. Remember that Microsoft announced more layoffs just weeks beforehand [1, 2]. It wasn't because Microsoft performed "too well to keep its staff"; the reality of the matter is that Microsoft has serious issues, especially with foresight. Some terrible early reviews of Vista Phone 7 [sic] indicate that Microsoft is dying in the mobile space, still [1, 2]. Mozilla won't even bother with the damn thing, which tossed away all older applications (loss of backward compatibility). From the news:



Mozilla on Windows Phone 7 – “We’re not going to bother.“



Christopher Blizzard, Director of Developer Relations and Open Source Evangelist at Mozilla spoke to Gizmodo about the future of their browser in the new order, where they are facing competition from Google on the desktop and mobile, and are also seemingly excluded from many mobile platforms, such as the iPhone and Windows Phone 7.


Readers can help us keep up with Microsoft news by submitting articles which we will happily publish, as usual. Positive GNU/Linux news is still a higher priority and our most popular posts are the daily links that we now post more often than before. We also try to catch up with older news that was missed -- positive news for a change.
