Just listen to Steve Ballmer’s analysis of the then introduced Apple iPhone in 2007. Yes, predicting the future is hard.

Um, yeah this is so cool? Employees at the Microsoft Store in California bust out the electric slide in the store during working hours. So if you ever wanted to learn this classic, just watch. I don’t know about you, but I suddenly feel the urge to buy Windows 7! Or not…

Microsoft has opened its doors to its own retail stores similar to the Apple Stores. Here’s a video of the store opening. Are you excited!?!

Here’s a pretty detailed article dissecting the usability of web design of apple.com and microsoft.com. Although there does seem to be some Apple loving in the article, it’s kinda interesting to see the impact of web design.

After upgrading to the latest Mac Office 2008, I think I’m about to revert back to the older 2004 version. The latest Office suite is sooo slow on my MacBook Pro (2 GHz Core Duo and 2 GB RAM). Word, Excel, and PowerPoint take forever to start up. And even once started, performance of these [...]
