“Microsoft has entered as a full-fledged competitor. The (Windows Live) search product looks to be more advanced by a generation, and we're going to have a leapfrog competition as the two firms try to out do each other.”
Rob Enderle
“This is about whether Microsoft can go on bundling products with Windows and pushing out competitors.”
Thomas Vinje
“Microsoft is looking to put more eyeballs in front of its search engine.”
David Card
“Forcing PC manufacturers to take one Microsoft product as a condition of buying a monopoly product like Windows 95 is not only a violation of the court order but it's plain wrong,”
Janet Reno
“It looks like Microsoft missed the major upgrade cycle from 2004 to early this year. Windows Vista would have been a much better story in 2005 than in 2006, or, realistically, 2007.”
Joe Wilcox
“Microsoft never walks away from money. It makes a significant amount of money year-over-year from its Mac products.”
Carmi Levy
“We have competed against [Microsoft] in the CRM market since 2002 and they have failed to deliver a competitive product. They just cancelled version two of that legacy application and skipped ahead to three. In the meantime, we are on the 18th generation of our service. Customers are tired of waiting for Microsoft to innovate.”
