Microsoft – the story was obvious and the spin the same – BUT THE RESULT WAS DIFFERENT!

It is the reaction to the Microsoft spin after earnings today that is different. THE STOCK IS DOWN 6 PERCENT.

Google, Adobe, Apple and Sony. They are just too good and too tough.

As far as entertainment and media markets go – nobody wants to do business with the old bully Microsoft. They don’t really need to anymore so there is no growth from this segment as well. I even notice Apple machines in the movies these days!

I frequent the Apple store. It is busy. It hums. Microsoft, Dell, HP – have no answer to this phenomenon.

I hear my buddy Blair returning his 5th Gateway laptop in 6 months – living in technical assistance hell.

Another convert! If he can switch – anybody can and will.

They have a stranglehold for now on the corporate market – but at the household level – it is no longer if, only when!

A sad day for Microsoft indeed and one which I thought may unfold in my post this morning.
