Microsoft makes a Basic mistake with Office 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Office isn't among the apps that will run natively on
| Intel-based Macs--and it won?t be until the latter half of 2007,
| according to media reports. But when it does ship, Office will
| apparently be missing a feature so vital to cross-platform
| compatibility that I believe it will be the beginning of the
| end for the Mac version of the productivity suite.

Singapore Telecom selects Alcatel-Lucent for IPTV trial
,----[ Quote ]
| I recall last week when a high-level Microsoft executive said to
| me that they were pleased with Microsoft IPTV adaption in North
| America and Europe, but their company needed to find more partners
| in Asia. Well, it didn't take long to see movement on that front.

Could be as bad as the VoD/DRM/TC-type lockin. There's reason to boycott
certain cable/TV providers (see reasons below).
