ZDNet Writes:
"It took Microsoft years to finally start calling out its No. 1 competitor to Windows client - Apple - by name. (Only recently is Microsoft starting to use its pricing advantage over Apple to sell.) Is the Server team going to fall into the same rut, claiming that any mention of a competitor is worse than pretending they don't exist?
The sales "cheat sheet" does acknowledge, via a single-line mention, that " Windows Server Foundation is an alternative to running open source (Linux) software." But the primary marketing messages that Microsoft is emphasizing with its new Server product aren't Linux-focused at all, if the Battlecard is any kind of guide. Instead, Microsoft is suggesting partners emphasize that Foundation Server will be easy on IT budgets; help optimize the Web for your business; and provide "peace of mind" for those concerned about the ramifications of running pirated Windows"
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."
Normally i would have some smartass thing to say about this.
But im to tired.So ! I'll accept my inevitable disagree's and potential bubble loss and bid you Goodnight.
Any fool admin who uses windows shall perish.
Linux doesnt compete, its a free OS, how can it compete ?
Linux is about offering a solution, not about competing.
I pre ordered a pandora from openpandora.org, it comes with Linux preinstalled.
Its not like MS lost something because the device is loaded with linux.
Because i only paid for the hardware, and not for the software.
