For anyone who has kept an eye on Microsoft's recent deluge of product releases, from Window Mobile 6.5, Security Essentials and all the way to the upcoming OS - Windows 7, it would just leave a person wondering.. "what do I need all this stuff for?!" The truth of the matter is Microsoft is fighting the good fight against every hotshot tech company that's out there. The never-ending battle for technological domination of the world market falls on the shoulders of just a handful of powerhouses... Unfortunately, Microsoft's multi-directional battle is leaving them with little recourse but to retaliate to the bitter end.
Microsoft's dream, has been to close-loop and integrate multiple technological platforms to make it easier for people to deal with all the constant advancements of technology. Their ambitions have been met with economic downturn, fierce competition, and legal backlash e.g. The European Union forced Microsoft to let users choose which internet browser they would like to use when they activate their own copy of Windows 7.
This all makes for a tense and exciting situation for the prospects of global change..., but whoever ends up being victorious at the end of the turf war, whether that be, microsoft, google, mozilla, or apple, would have changed the world in a way we never could have imagined...
Microsoft's Big Push...
