Is Microsoft preparing it's own Vista Killer OS ?
Monday, March 12, 2007
The way I see it, there is simply too many people that hate Microsoft.
They hate Bill Gates, the hate Steve Ballmer, they hate the richness and corporate power that Microsoft represents. All in all, today Microsoft is the anti-cool company, and Vista the anti-cool OS.
So, instead of fighting against everybody and creating another huge PR campaign to clean this image, why not simply creating a new company in charge of creating a new cool OS ? Or two companies ? Or ten. That wouldn't be a problem for MS.
One of these companies could create a new Linux Distro, a real Ubuntu competitor. Another one could take OS/2 and remake it. Another one to take BSD or AmigaOS or AtariOS, or anything similar. And the last one could create something from scratch, maybe by absorbing a webOS like eyeOS and challenging Google itself.
The total cost of all these companies wouldn't be something MS cannot cope with. They could even be companies not officially supported by Microsoft, but free guerrilla companies to challenge the giant.
Instead of paying lawyers, paying programmers, that sounds like an idea for a software company.
But wait, how do I know that they are not doing it already ? :)
