WPC 2011: Microsoft Touts Windows Phone "Mango"
by Guest BSchwarz- 0 replies
- 68 views
By Thurrott, Paul When it comes to Windows Phone, Microsoft is in a bit of a bind. On the one hand, the software giant has created an innovative and useful mobile platform that offers important improvements over the Android and iPhone competition. But on the other hand, no one seems to be buying the phones. Source: Win Super Site

Netflix Raises Prices, Garners Criticism
by Guest BSchwarz- 0 replies
- 76 views
By Thurrott, Paul Netflix this week did something that only a very confident and successful company could possibly do: It raised prices for a popular service that, quite frankly, should simply cost consumers less over time, not more. Similar in that way to last year’s Xbox LIVE price hike, the Netflix price hike is seen, perhaps correctly, as a blatant money grab for a captive audience. Source: Win Super Site

Windows Server 2003: A Look Back
by Guest BSchwarz- 0 replies
- 149 views
By Thurrott, Paul Windows Server 2003 is notable to me for two reasons. First, it was among those products that were temporarily renamed to include the ".NET" nomenclature that briefly subsumed the software giant in late 2001/early 2002. Second, the successor to Windows Server 2003 was delayed for several years because of problems with the Longhorn generation of Windows, necessitating further updates. Source: Win Super Site

By Thurrott, Paul I never had a a happy relationship with Windows Mobile. Aand when the iPhone came out in 2007, I jumped shipped immediately, again seeking out a superior competing product. Microsoft tried to win me back over subsequent releases of Windows Mobile 6, 6.1, and 6.5, but by then the platform was doomed. Only Microsoft didn’t seem to know it. Source: Win Super Site
