Gates claims Google is all hype and bluster
"Special needs"
TAKING QUESTIONS from the audience at his company's Sharepoint conference in Seattle yesterday, chief Vole Bill Gates dismissed Google's Apps as being of no threat whatsoever to Sharepoint.
He implied that the Search engine outfit had little to no understanding of businesses special needs, and noted that Google Talk is hardly changing the world. He did admit that Google's Internet searching tools were pretty good though.
Gates said that Google's online offerings, which many see as direct competition to the Volish Office and Sharepoint applications, just didn't have the richness or responsiveness that businesses demanded.
He also reckoned that Google were all mouth and no trousers, making much of the marketing hype surrounding its apps, but gaining very little market penetration at the end of the day.
"The day they announce them is their best day," he said. Adding in an aside: "I might be biased."
Asked about who he would back as US president, Gates refused to publicly comment, but directed people to the website www.one.org, which is one of his funded projects to get candidates to state their positions on global health care. µ

All Software is Confined to Legal Timeline, After So Long, to pay, it must be replaced. To Replace it, First Distructive Testing Sequence Must be RUN. Virus Hacking. Microsoft owns more than one browser company & Maxthon will Knock your system off line. With that ,next IE is promoted as next security level.Its Fair Game, Nothing lasts forever, especially in radically new field of home computing. Its' Address BAR that hard to get HTML for, or people would put it in their email signature.

Yeah right...
640KB ought to be enough for anybody...---Billie Gates----
Need to be said more?
BTW, Microsoft never ever invented anything at all, they only adopt software and make it worse.
Samples are all over the place.
And lest start about Vista, MS'ses worst piece of software this Century.
In my opinion Billie is king when it comes to producing rubbish :-)

Hmmm....
"Gates claims Google is all hype and bluster" - Kettle, Pot, The, Calling, Black, The - re-arrange into a well known phrase"little to no understanding of businesses special needs"
Oh, and Gates has demonstrated ample understanding, of course. Like "getting" the Internet five years after the fact.And I'm sure retailers all over the world simply LOVE paying the Windows tax.
And let's not forget the wonderful success of the Tablet PC. Not to mention the upcoming Table PC.
Yeah, Bill, you're really credible on such things.
