Big Spenders
By now you’ve all heard about the likely deal between Google and Dell. If this should go through (besides the other 10 million things), it’s pretty much an open invitation for head to head warfare. Or a taste of the ‘ol medicine, whichever way you’d like to view it. If Google should sign with Dell - which is a pretty good strategy IMO, it will pretty much bring some old haunts back to MS. This was their strategy back in the day to overide Netscape.
Some more interesting moves in the land of search is that there are rumoured talks of MS purchasing eBay. The general feedback from the online community has been very mixed indeed, but tends to lean towards the negative.
Other MS news is that Vista may be headed for delayed launch as the beta testers keep finding integration problems, “everything from driver and app compatibility problems, to red-hot laptops.” Check out these Office and OS screenshots.
On a personal note:
