WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: May 17, 2003 Putting Microsoft brand on a new breed: Longhorn -- "Google's a very nice system, but compared to my vision, it's pathetic." (Comments: That's a quote from Jim Allchin, Vice Presdient of Microsoft's Platforms Group. It makes him sound like an arrogant asshole. I don't know if he actually is an asshole, but that quote makes him sound that way, don't you think? I wonder if he cares at all about reputation management?)

Like that MS are thinking about their users. Shame it has to be communicated this way. Posted by: daniel szuc on May 18, 2003 07:34 AM
Interesting bit of propaganda. Lots of focus on creating excitement. Of course, Microsoft's visions, superior or otherwise, rarely make it into the final product, and by then the world has changed. It's far easier to create a vision of something better than Google, than to produce a product that will actually be better than what Google has become by that time.
