Review: Making a loss on hardware will be fine with Microsoft, if they can make it all up from the gaming software. Selling more hardware will give a good initiative to Microsoft as Sony and Nintendo play the catch-up game. Microsoft will try capturing as much market share as it can before rivals come up with the advanced version of their gaming devices. To win the battle in this area, it has to as push as much hardware as it can and as fast as it can, even if it has to lower the price further even if it means more losses. Once hardware has been sold in large numbers, Microsoft will be able to push more software in the market, using hardware as the base.

Review: :)) Funny, the idea appears far-fetched. But if true, should worry Microsoft... They have enough and more on hands!! Even as Internet becomes more and more dominating, Microsoft would have greater worries from Yahoo, Google, & AOL than Cisco. Cisco been major network infrastructure provider will only benefit from the movement. And war with Microsoft in long will do more good to them. Also if center shifts to internet, Cisco might have more problems from Intel, AMD, than from Microsoft. Intel, ADM, IBM and likes may like to active take part in providing greater processing power on server side & network infrastructure in-turn break into the domains of Cisco and Juniper."

Gunning for Google

Review: Does Google vs. Yahoo+/MSN+/others feel like deja vu. Time has proven that no one remains king of the hill forever, be it Microsoft or Yahoo or Google. Competition leaves them under pressure bring out good things. Users will gain, technology will improve. Competition is good for all!

Now, Google Is Tackling Talk
Now, Google Is Tackling Talk

Review: Release of Google "Talk? & "Desktop? is good. Interoperability between various chat and telephony s/w like from Yahoo, MSN will be a windfall for the users. Finally, we might be able to use one software to chat and/or talk with everyone we know. But, before this, it would be interesting to see how the big (Yahoo MSN) & elder (Skype AOL) brothers will respond, given the fact that the two new offerings from Google are directly pointing guns at Yahoo and menacing Microsoft, while competing with AOL and Skype. Surely, we are in for some nail-biting times. Exciting as these times may seem for Google, it needs to answer the three big questions, which it faces today: How to generate revenues from these products? How to keep up the pace with the competition? And how not to became a traditional software company? Well, whatever it may be we all investors, users, and the tech community are in for exiting times along with the bellwethers of the software world.

Review: Quality of voice calls via Skype is simply great. Compared to what other competitors offer (including MSN and Yahoo), Skype seems to have superior technology and, from a business point of view, they have the early bird advantage. Skype has been projected to be a disruptive technology to telecom (as E-mail was to vs. P-mail). That's correct. But, that's also what is technology and the technology business model. Also, when everyone agrees to view Skype as a destructive technology, competing directly with Telecoms, $3 billion doesn't seem to be that huge. Does it?
