it's about freaking time.
I was woundering what is keeping MS from having new competitive online suits.
why not have a P2P for instance? and yes, than can get around all the legal issues. do they have an iTune like service? why let FF and otheres insult IE like that? what is taking so long with Vista? this is the backbone of the company. it should bet priority over anything else.

I still find it funny that Vista is the competition for OS 10.4, but by the time Vista is released, 10.5 will be nearly ready for release. MS needs to either A) Get their shit together, or B) Give up.

Hmmm, why do I have the opinion that these services will suck once they are out. Oh well, at least when they put their mind to something, something happens (whether good or bad).

I'd like to see where Microsoft takes this "software as a service" idea of theirs.
