Thanks for posting, Ken.

I don't think Steve read the script a single time before recording this video.

"Microsoft is committing..(shit, what are we committing to?)....... to improve Visual Foxpro."

"We value the bet you are making on it. The time and energy you put into building great Visual Foxpro applications for Windows and we won't let you down."

Anyone feel let down by Microsoft?


Since Balmer took over, Apple has kicked MS's ass in mp3 players, smartphones, tablets, and they've captured the "next" generation of computer users. Just look at any college classroom and calculate the Macintosh to MS ratio.

Now that tablets are invading business, Apple and Android are really going to start putting a hurting on Office sales as applications start integrating with Google Docs instead of MS office. Every tablet used in business is a lost MS OS sale. SAAS means just another opening for Macintosh corporate machines and another lost MS OS sale.

The old strategy of copy the competitor and then crush them isn't working any more. MS has no vision and there's nobody to blame but Balmer.
