Antiquated Quotes
Microsoft is late to the CRM market with 3.0, and faces significant challenges with their antiquated hosting model, channel strategy for enterprise software, and selling to the business unit, not IT. While they may have success on the low end of the market with 3.0, they will be significantly challenged in appealing to the middle market, and global 2000.

Both Quotes
We do not find it surprising that Microsoft chose to delay the Office launch in order to launch the two products together. We think this strategy is appropriate as a way to create the maximum initial demand for both products, rather than trying to split marketing resources between two big launches separated by only a couple of months.

Based Quotes
We do suspect that Microsoft will still release an early patch given the imminent danger to its customers from this flaw. As stated by the company about two years ago, patches can be released within two days if needed. Based on prior public commitments, we do suspect that Microsoft will issue the patch early once they are convinced that customers require the use of Internet Explorer in production environments.

Act Quotes
We are thrilled to serve as the partner of choice and act as the vehicle for Microsoft to broaden its appeal among a more mainstream market focusing on children and family entertainment. We are confident our strong track record in developing integrated marketing and merchandising programs designed specifically for kids will enhance the future success of Microsoft Game Studios.

Argument Quotes
We've made the argument before about hybrid vigor -- the more homogeneous the environment and the more you standardize on any single vendor's products, the higher the environment's susceptibility to threats. We're not trying to single out Microsoft here, but rather note that heterogeneity allows businesses to tolerate threats more effectively, just as biological diversity allows populations to better tolerate disease.

Boundaries Quotes
Virtualization helps customers overcome the physical boundaries and underused capacity of IT systems, and is a key stepping stone for customers to increase operational efficiency and become more dynamic and responsive to business needs. Microsoft is working closely with AMD to help open the way for a new class of innovation, to make IT systems not only more cost-effective, but also more secure, manageable and interoperable.
