"Ubuntu must be giving Microsoft fits on the desktop. That's the only reason I can come up with for Microsoft's LinkedIn search for a new director of open-source strategy, with a focus on the desktop:
The Windows Competitive Strategy team is looking for a strong team member to lead Microsoft's global desktop competitive strategy as it relates to open source competitors."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
ubuntu is getting better and better by the day (ok by the release not the day) and it will eventually surpass the ease of use, accessibility, etc of windows.. which is when MS will lose all their customers unless they do something about it!
I was thinkin about installing it on my Ps3 but as ive never used it B4 is there much point? wot are the benefits other that a better web browser
Edit. @Somekindofmike - I agree with the disagree thing there are sum sad people out there
I sent a Pm to N4g member Fishy Fingers a while back (coz hes a clever mofo) askin him about installing Linux and he suggested Ubuntu but told me if youve never used it theres not much point
Its more coz i upgraded my Ps3 Hdd a while back i gotta 2.5 500gig Hdd for £45 at a carboot sale although after i installed it on my Ps3 i lost a big chunk of Hdd space i never new y, so now ive got all this free space i want to use sum of it up and i also wanna look clever :-P
even if it waxes and wanes... people get to hear about it.
I have been using ubuntu for a while now, and its pretty easy considering that ppl have always had this image of linux being uber geecky operating system.
Ubuntu allows very easy and secure installation of software, friendly dekstop enviroment that you can modify to look the way you like. Not to mention the 3 differend distros where you can choose depending on how old your hardware is or what kind of desktop enviroment you want.
The bulk of computer users couldn't be more ill equipped to operate the machines. PC manufacturers actually had to color-code the ports & cables like Garanimals to keep intellectually challenged computer users from forcing mouse cables into speaker ports!
Yes, MS is so afraid of Ubuntu that they're hiring a, as in one, person to manage the threat posed by ALL open source competitors. If MS was actually "scared" of Ubuntu then I'd expect to see a breaking news story on CNN where Steve Ballmer is caught with suitcases full of cash in the trunk of his Mercedes at a seedy bar on the outskirts of Redmond.
