Microsoft 2.0 - "A Failure"

This is not meant to hurt Microsoft but to tell them how I, as a user, feel!

Backed by popular demand - I was asked to right all about Microsoft's many failure's sence Bill Gates mentioned he's leaving. This includes Live, office Live, vista and much more. So get ready for the real details why Web 2.1 for idiots votes Microsoft 2.0 a Failure.

2042 - Microsoft, Dies!
One of the many ways Microsoft feels like it might die in Microsoft 2.0, unless they can hurry up and upgrade to 2.5.

Microsoft Vista - Can't see its doom.

Microsoft Vista (Vista means sight, I believe, in Spanish) was launched come this year but was still described as "a work in progress" (CEO Steve Ballmer).
If anyone was happy enough to enjoy the excruciating pain in installing it you will enjoy having to upgrade you PC because of the new found OS Requirements. Vista requires 512mb of system memory, 20g of computer space (ouch thats a lot for a os to suck up), and Direct X 9 graphics card compatibility - Home version only. Where if you really want the good stuff you'll need a excellent graphics card (256mb or higher), 1 g of ram, and a pixel shader (another reason to get mad at Microsoft for making me buy a 512mb graphics card.)

Guess what, how many people arn't upgrading: LOTS, about 65% of people arn't upgrading. Why? Microsoft vista doesn't have backwards compatibility. In English: that nice game you got for xp won't play good in vista. The game may crash in the middle of an important battle scene and you forgot to save.

Microsoft Vista gets top place for being the worst OS in history. (Besides DOS - Ish)

Microsoft Office 2007

Microsoft office 2007 doesn't stink in fact it is one of the best office editions I can think of. Its light weight, it has low requirements, and its backwards compatible but...

Microsoft neglicated to tell me it was out. If it wasn't for my MSN subscription or logging in to Live (another nightmare), I would never know Microsoft developed office 2007. When they rolled it out that relied on there sellers to go switch from 2003 to 2007. Most did after a year.

The next problem with office is the stupid Microsoft 2007 copy and paste. Instead of copying just the fromated stuff, it will copy the style names the tags the css (and mom along with it.)

Next is Micro-ML or XML on steroids, have you ever opened a .docx in notepad, I don't suggest it. It has every tag under the sun and then some. Why not stick with .doc and not confuse the millions of people who can't upgrade or dare not try.

Microsoft (Google, I mean) Live

Microsoft got a stupid idea, but to revamp its infamous msn page to a Microsoft Live page.

It offers everything it can but its a cheap knock off of google.com. If you read my last Blog, I told you the horrid problems about copying sites like Google.com. Google owns millions of users because it works and it doesn't spam you to death (like the MSN counterpart), there is no way you are going to get any of them unless you offer something unique that Google doesn't (yet) do.

Microsoft live wins The worst Microsoft Re-name Award. Lets rename it to Live and we will get more customers. Ya right, live is already on my black list. Sry.

Microsoft Silverlight

Really the newest version isn't bad, but its still a cheap rip-off of Macromedia's Flash. (I know its owned by Adobe, but it was way better off when it was Macromedia.)

Originally I thought that they would build there own GUI and incorporate the 2008 studio and the .net framework. Originally it didn't, but Microsoft started to learn better and is making Silverlight to be a expensive knock off of Adobe Air.

Microsoft Silverlight gets A blue medal for trying the same thing all over again. Just because it lost a law suit...

Microsoft Expression Blend (O! Micro-Coffee)

Microsoft hates its frontpage program. I hate the frontpage program, so SharePoint and Expression were invented. Sharepoint has some merit so I'm not complaining on it, but Expression Blend (sounds like a flavor of coffee - "I'd like the Micro-House coffee please") is a black version of dreamweaver.

That was not racist but it literally is a poor contrasted black style that makes me want to label it a Dream- of Dreamweaver. Hello, Microsoft just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

Expression is a Micro-Ripoff!

Last notes: I should just stick all the good things in life in the Micro-Copy machine and hit the "Copy it stupidly button."

Microsoft should stay on the cutting edge, and not try to cut of the edge of these other companies who having been offering there services for years. If you change Microsoft you might be able to make it until 2050 (the Y2K bug comes back - trust me I know)
