SLOW SALES OF WinXP PROMPT M$ to ADOPT AGGRESSIVE MARKETING

[MegalosSkylaki]

With the economy in the doldrums, and OEM sales slow, Microsoft is said to be considering a sales stategy pioneered by Kodak a half century ago, and by Gillette for almost as long.

Having positioned itself for many years with Hard Ware Developers Protocols, which are released years in advance,and have been criticized for driving HW Manufactures to "design for" M$, the strategy will be leveraged into a larger market for M$, according to one report.

Redmond, denies all knowledge, but it is no secret that System Intergraters have been in financial difficulties, which may grow worse. Others view it as an opportunity for reliable year-to-year sales--instead of the "boom times" that are not expected to return S N.

Aggressive marketing ? What will MS do ? Put a gun on my head and order me to buy XP ?

I can't afford XP and I don't feel the need to upgrade the OS.

In the conclusion of the Labor Day Document, it says, "Microsoft has successfully cut off the air supply of Netscape. But with this initiative, we plan to cut off the power supply to every computer manufacturer!"
