Microsoft: Late Again

Read the news.  Today read an article on how Apple has very silently inched towards being an enterprise company. A company very popularly known as the toy maker is no longer just a toy maker. First there was news on how iPads were being introduced in the schools in USA, and now the big one: JP Morgan Chase, company with one of the most complex procedures in terms of security, embraces the iPad. 

Though most people are talking about how it’s clear and present danger for RIM Blackberry, but I feel, in long term, it’s a clear competition to Microsoft.

First Microsoft was slow in catching up the Internet boom (which it publicly accepted few years back) and Google, quite aptly, won the battle in big way. MSN Search,  Live Search and now Bing, Microsoft is still lagging even after so many make overs.

But now the mobility boom, why Microsoft is still trying to sell desktops when whole world is moving towards internet and mobile gadgets. Though there was a recent launch of Windows 7 mobile, but if you see the other happenings around the world, it looks like a drop in the Indian Ocean.

A company with such a nice hold in IT Market is again late in catching up on Mobility enterprise solutions. The day will not be far when M$ cash cow ‘Windows’ will be just another redundant product.  M$ needs to check what their product managers are busy in and more importantly are they still paying millions of dollars them …  :)

Edit:  Like everyone else I Love the moments, when I get the chance to say "I told you so". A recent news gave me that moment.
