Star MS Sees Stronger Earnings than Expected, Revenue Still Declined
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 23rd Oct 2009 21:31 UTC
Microsoft "Microsoft announces another quarter of revenue declines, but results were still stronger than expected, thanks to what Microsoft executives referred to as 'cost discipline' and a streamlining of business divisions. With the release of Windows 7 on Oct. 22, consumers and businesses may be in the mood to buy new PCs and Microsoft products."

They already have, it's called .NET, too bad, they won't even get behind it.

There's a reason I particularly said "non-VM" based ;) And yes, they seriously need to eat their own dogfood, hell they created that phrase

Who says they don't?

Lots of new Microsoft tools are .Net based.

Why should they drop lots of perfect running applications just to rewrite them in .Net?

So you expect MS to rewrite the entire win32 api? That's just crazy. There is nothing wrong with the .net runtime, it uses jit so there isn't really a perfomance penalty, especially with the computers we are running today.
