Microsoft Promising Too Much?
from the what?-how-could-that-be? dept
Would you believe it? Microsoft overhyped something they hadn't thought completely through. What a shocker. Apparently, folks at Microsoft feel that they've scared off enough competitors now to admit that they never really had much of a business plan for .Net, but just pretended they did. Now they're actually trying to figure out how they're going to make money off of it - and how they're going to convince other companies that it will help them make money too.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
