The Redmond company has a share of just 1.9% of all the volume of searches in Europe, which makes Microsoft an insignificant player. In March 2008, according to statistics released by comScore, Microsoft managed to attract only 469 million searches in Europe. This is nothing compared with the 19,434 billion queries that were conducted through Google in March ... dany20mh Thu, 08 May 2008 07:37:33 GMT http://p30buzz.blogspot.com/2008/05/over-5000-products-certified-for.html One of the main aspects that hurt Windows Vista RTM and the adoption of the operating system was poor support from the environment of products orbiting the platforms in comparison to Windows XP. The fact is that the vast majority of software and hardware solutions available on the market when Vista hit the shelves in January 2008 were tailored to XP ... dany20mh Fri, 09 May 2008 16:51:43 GMT http://p30buzz.blogspot.com/2008/04/art-of-blocking-and-dodging-vista-sp1.html In the context of Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista RTM was easy to ignore throughout, but with the introduction of Service Pack 1, the equation of the latest Windows client has evolved. SP1 represents not only a maturity milestone for Windows Vista, but also a stage in the life of the operating system that will catalyze a boost in uptake. But at the same time, the rapidly approaching cut-off date for the availability of Windows XP and the increasing focus of the OEM market on XP's successor mean that consumers will find it increasingly hard to avoid Windows Vista ... dany20mh Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:40:20 GMT http://p30buzz.blogspot.com/2008/05/microsoft-and-yahoo-merger-is-not-over.html The Microsoft and Yahoo merger is still far from over despite failed negotiations between the two companies.

But the fact of the matter is that the benchmarks, comparisons of features, capabilities, market shares and security vulnerability measuring contests performed since Vista became available have managed to hurt Microsoft's Windows business where it counts more. In the end, the repercussions of the constant Vista RTM vs. XP SP2 which grew into the smackdown of Vista SP1 and XP SP3 have unfavorably impacted the Windows client total revenue and operating income ... dany20mh Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:04:27 GMT http://p30buzz.blogspot.com/2008/04/vista-sp1-to-cure-vista-rtm-wow.html When Windows Vista was unleashed in January 31, 2008, Microsoft was promising performance, security, innovation, all wrapped up under an umbrella of a Wow user experience. Instead Vista got a mixed reception, and a barrage of criticism over how bloated it was, over hardware resources consumption, over hardware and software incompatibility issues, over poor support, over the nagging User Account Control, etc. Everything that didn't tic to perfection in Vista was dissected and thrown to the dogs. And Vista made it easy... Microsoft's own customers' satisfaction studies for Vista indicates that potential buyers failed to warm up to the latest Windows client. The same is not valid for end users ... dany20mh Sat, 12 Apr 2008 07:33:16 GMT http://p30buzz.blogspot.com/2008/05/windows-vista-sp1-rtm-downloads-get.html Microsoft has given the green light to Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM downloads... again.
