Microsoft is going to do well
I just had a thought today about the future of Microsoft and I decided to blog it. Overall, Microsoft is going to do well in the coming years. Three things are going to help Microsoft: economy, netbooks, and multicore systems with a lot of RAM. With the bad economy, Microsoft was finally able to come up with an effective ad campaign. Basically, Microsoft says that Macs are too expensive and they are not worth the price. With multicore laptops with over 4GB Ram for less than $500, who needs a Mac. Secondly, they are netbooks, they are light, small, cheap, and they run Windows. Recent numbers have shown that netbook users are not ready for Linux, as a result, Windows is the predominant netbook OS. With Mac out of the game, Microsoft is unchallenged in that space. Since, netbooks are getting the fastest growing sales numbers, Microsoft is having a good time with that. Finally, incredibly powerful desktop machines. I am amazed at how cheap Quad-core machines with amazing amounts of memory have gotten. As a result, with Windows 7 coming out, the Microsoft OS can be as bloated as possible, and still run fine. Applications do not have to be light anymore, with the availability of powerful video cards, 4-core CPUs and 6 GB ram, any OS should be able to run smooth with room to spare. Overall, these combinations of things will probably help Microsoft in the long run. Too bad, I don't invest in the stock market. Once again, Internet land, I'm out.
