Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was pretty mad about the performance of Windows Vista, which is his own words was "not executed well".
(Source: Tech Digest)
Listen up, adds Ballmer -- "There's nothing free about Android."
(Source: Yahoo Video)
Microsoft CEO's keynote was full of juicy comments
This week such noted guests as Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan and Jeff Bezos — chairman, president and CEO, Amazon.com — landed in Redmond, Washington for the annual Microsoft CEO Summit. Unsurprisingly, the keynote speech was given by none other than the CEO of the world's largest tech company and
of tech pioneer Bill Gates,
Microsoft's Steve Ballmer
Ballmer is one of the most energetic and influential figures in the tech industry. He is also known as one of the most polarizing, for his wild antics and
unscripted sound bytes
. Thus you could virtually guarantee his keynote would be pretty interesting.
At the speech Ballmer let his fellow CEOs exactly how he viewed Windows Vista -- an overambitious product botched by a poor launch and poor timing. He
, "Just not executed well. Not the product itself, but we went a gap of about five, six years without a product. I think back now and I think about thousands of man-hours, and it wasn't because we were wrong-minded in thinking bad thoughts and not pushing innovation. We tried too big a task, and in the process wound up losing essentially thousands of man-hours of innovation capabilities."
The admission was surprisingly forthright, when contrast with Ballmer's early statements on Vista's performance. Initially, despite poor sales Ballmer
blamed factors such as piracy
, refusing to blame Vista. As time has passed he has slowly
grown more critical
of Vista. Of course the operating system is no longer Microsoft's flagship product, so that could have something to do with his changing attitude as well.
Many analysts have been highly critical of Windows Vista's performance. The OS came at a $6B USD research and development cost to Microsoft, yet failed to come anywhere close to surpassing its predecessor, Windows XP, in market share.
The upside to that flop, though, was a rich operating system base that allowed Microsoft to push out Windows 7 -- essentially a performance tuned Vista with some extra gloss. Windows 7, by contrast, has been a wild hit,
passing Windows Vista in seven months
and cruising towards passing Windows XP. While that success can't entirely numb the sting of Vista among Microsoft's brass, it does provide a degree of vindication of their overall strategy.
Despite his candor about Vista, Ballmer had no qualms about saying that the super-hot selling
Android smart phone operating system
from Google was inferior to Microsoft's own smart phone operating systems.
In an
Ballmer commented, "I think what you mostly what you see in the market is that there's a lot of dynamism. You know, people are up, they're down, they're sideways, they're this. The whole market is growing. But, in terms of share and popularity there's still a lot of opportunities for innovation."
"And I think Apple did some good stuff, but they're not number one in the market. You know, number one is still Nokia, number two is still RIM. And they did some good stuff. And you know Android is done more of a... Google has done more of a software only approach. Which has advantages. That's our approach. They hit the market with a good window relative to touch."
When asked about Android giving away Android for free versus Microsoft, which charges smart phone carriers, Ballmer took issue with that assessment, stating, "And there's nothing free about Android. I mean at the end of the day as we certainly have asserted in a number of cases you know there's an intellectual property royalty due on that.
Whether they happen to charge for their software or not is their business decision."
Ultimately Ballmer is right -- Android isn't free. It's certainly an expensive project for Google. However, it's hard to deny that Ballmer essentially dodged the question. At the end of the day Android
is free
to handset makers and consumers. That answer would be a tough one for Ballmer to give, though, when the upcoming Windows Phone 7 comes with a fee, which is ultimately passed down to the consumer. And then there's the additional fact that Android currently has some abilities that Windows Mobile does not, like
copy and paste and multi-tasking
. Ballmer's response, while technically correct, thus left plenty unsaid.

RE: What is "free"?
First, the best antivirus for the Windows platform is not using Windows.
Second, only idiots believe that doubleclicking on executables sent from strangers or download bootleg software/media is something that the vast majority of consumers knows or cares anything about.
The graveyard of Windows hobbyests is littered with arrogant pronouncements about who is "in" and who is "out" when it comes to swimming beneath the obvious on the available UI. Nowhere on Microsoft's Web site do they make it clear that your "solution" is either easy or easily available.
"Third, if you gave up the feature and application-rich platform of Windows for the striped-down [sic] and naked offerings of a Linux build just for the fear of catching a virus you have some issues. That is like packing up the wife and kids and moving to Nome, Alaska because you heard about someone getting their car stolen at a mall."
Actually, it's more like posting a gratuitous, biased and misguided opinion on an anonymous forum...for what?
Every OS has problems. People use what they use because they like what they use, regardless of the financial and potential personal pain they suffer as a result of their choices. You're a somewhat-less-than-shining example of this.
So you're in love with Windows and you hate Linux. Great. Thanks for sharing.

SM's designer ethics do seem rather...well, lacking. There's a market for it, though, so he's going to keep at it til he gets the knickers sued off himself. I mean c'mon, I can understand some inspiration taken from pieces, but I've seen where he's recycled the flipping picture. That's just hanging a sign on your whole business, "SUE ME PLEASE!" And MK&A's stuff? Affordable? So 75 bucks for a t-shirt that they would normally charge 150 for. I don't see them being willing to go any less than that, and they don't make anything that I'd pay that for, so PASS.

i read about this when i saw that MK was in Milan and i think that its' a good idea and i can't wait to see what the line looks like. i hope that partnering with steve madden does something great for them. that company obviously has the means to be successful so my fingers are crossed for MK/A

Anyone have photo's of Issai kiwi?
I'm going to give this plant a shot and am planning for a trellis, I'd like to know exactly what to expect out of the plant. I would love to see any photo's.
You can watch the video in the link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kiwi from EL
Thank you! Did watch it. Trying to figure out if I can do a trellis type structure, I don't want the one I see so much that is shaped like a clothes line.
I live in zone 5 too, had one a couple years ago, first it almost died because I had it in full sun then I shaded it and I grew like crazy the second half of summer. then it didn't survive its first winter; granted mine was in a 15g pot and not in the ground (I had moved it to a protected corner where my house met my garage). you might have more luck since yours would be in ground but you want to consider putting in somewhat cold protected spot in zone 5
Mine is in full sun and is doing good. I do have about 5 inches of mulch around the roots though. I am in zone 4ish, and it died down to the snow this winter. It was its first year, and the nursery it was grown in is from southern ontario - im further north by far then them. I wont know exactly how hardy it is until it has growth from this year. I will be protecting it with a deep mulch and wrapping the vine in an old sheet. From what ive read you basically treat them like grapes...
rehabingisgreen,there are better selections for your zone! I also have an issai and it dies to the ground every winter. I also have it in a protected spot on the warm side of my house. I have many many arguta and kolomikta varieties and the issai is by far the least hardy. It has like 3 or 4 flowers on it this year.....that's it.
If you are growing it on a trellis or pergola for decoration as well as fruit, get a male and female kolomikta......trust me!

Commented on Introduction to Homestuck Memes
This was horribly bland, there were a gigantic number of jokes (Example: Forest putting a bucket on his head and making the girls flustered) and they took advantage of any good joke, and "Let me tell you about Homestuck" doesn't count.
The videos are really losing their luster.
I agree with you on Majora's Mask, it so underrated JUST because it has that 3 day system, most people don't even look past that to realize the true artwork it really is, and that its the direct sequel to OoT.
But my second favorite LoZ would either be Skyward Sword or Wind Waker. I think I'd have to go with Wind Waker since this incarnation of Zelda is just so much more adorable.
(Ever wanna find a picture of Link? Google Zelda.)
I also think that the Zelda games on the DS using Toon Link are pretty underrated. They're not BAD games, they're just a bit lower quality than the usual LoZ game.
I enjoy it among other things, although its not my favorite video game it does have an amazing atmosphere and sense of adventure, but I'm sure you already know this.

FORT COLLINS - Two cats from different households in Colorado have tested positive for H1N1, according to Colorado State University's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The felines are expected to recover, but their cases serve as a reminder to pet owners to seek veterinary attention for companion animals that appear to be ill.
The cats in these two cases were diagnosed with lower respiratory tract infections by Colorado veterinarians. Both cats are currently ill and have been ill for multiple weeks, with one illness beginning on Oct. 2 and the other beginning in early November. Antibiotics do not treat H1N1, but both cats received antibiotics as a precaution against secondary bacterial infections. Neither cat had symptoms that responded to antibiotics.
"We expect that both cats will recover, but these cases serve as a reminder to pet owners to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible if their pet seems ill. This flu has also been identified in ferrets, exotic cats and birds in the United States, so any companion animal that appears to have the flu should get immediate attention," said Kristy Pabilonia, a veterinarian and expert on H1N1 testing in animals at CSU. "We are very interested in understanding more about H1N1 in cats and other pets and providing tests to veterinarians who suspect H1N1 in companion animals."
Swabs from the cats' mouth and nose were tested by CSU and additional blood serum confirmation testing from Iowa State University confirmed that they have the pandemic H1N1 strain.
Veterinarians believe that both of the cats became ill with H1N1 after a person in their household contracted the virus.
In addition to receiving veterinary care, cats and ferrets with H1N1 should be made comfortable and get plenty of rest, enticing food and fluids.
The USDA is reporting three other confirmed cases of H1N1 in cats, one each in Oregon, Iowa and Pennsylvania. At least five ferrets have been confirmed to have H1N1, four in Oregon and one in Nebraska.
Pabilonia said that because this strain of H1N1 is new, information about how it impacts animals is limited. It is possible that any animal may be susceptible to H1N1, but no other cases have been documented in companion animals. To date, there are no reported cases of H1N1 in dogs in the United States. Pet birds have been susceptible to other strains of the flu, but no cases of H1N1 in these animals have been reported.
People with H1N1 or any flu should be careful when in contact with their pets. Pabilonia recommends that they practice social distancing with pets just as they would with people. People who are ill should wash their hands before handling pets and, if possible, have someone who is well feed and care for pets. Just like people, pets are exposed to H1N1 through aerosols -- fluids released when someone sneezes, coughs or touches their face and then a surface.
Because there have only been a few cases of H1N1 flu in pets, veterinarians have limited information about the symptoms. Pets with H1N1 may behave as if they aren't feeling well, acting lethargic and may appear to have a respiratory illness. If a pet seems ill, it should be taken to a veterinarian for an exam as soon as possible and the veterinarian should be alerted that the pet has been exposed to someone with influenza.
CSU's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory is testing pets for H1N1 as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Animal Health Laboratory Network. The test detects H1N1 influenza virus in animals. Tests are performed on nasal or mouth swabs. Swabs should be obtained by a veterinarian and submitted to the lab for results.
