Microsoft’s newest attempt at the search engine has arrived in Beta.  Time will tell the success of the service.   Don’t bother holding your breath for impressive improvements amongst itself and competition.  The market sector is almost impenetrable.

The business world loves to blame Google for Microsoft’s third place position.  Google certainly deserves some monitoring in a few business services it is attempting to grow in.  If Google is outright cornered for a monopoly, at it’s current lifespan in innovation, then where has the government been regarding Wally-World?

Microsoft search is it’s “own worst enemy.”  Instead of innovation and competition, Microsoft has opted to nothing more than gambling.  Microsoft could have spent the last six years perfecting a technology and earned more market share than the little eight percent it currently owns.

In 1998 Microsoft owned the PC market.  They still do if you only count the number of PC’s Windows is installed on.  However, the Windows based platform is obsolete.   Microsoft still owns the OS based platform, because “cloud computing” is an infant.  Windows is now the MS-DOS of the operating system.

Windows didn’t arrive on the planet some 10 or so years after Microsoft bought, yes bought, the DOS platform in the 80′s through the early to mid-90′s.  In fact, MS-DOS was around too long.  Microsoft spent 10-years developing Windows.  It was laughable when Microsoft gave a release date for any version of Windows.  It was common practice to add 10 months to any promised date Microsoft would estimate a Windows release.

This is the stuff I look forward to watching.  Yes, NerdWare this is.  What can I say?  This is pure capitalism in the works until the Federal Governments decides to jump in and styfle the natural evolution of competition.  We will maintain our position regarding Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft.  He is arrogant, stubborn and lacks the competance to lead a company.  The man maybe good around a conference table, but lacks the basic skills of macro-economics.  Bill Gates did.  The results are obvious as one, two, three.  Since Gates left the bull-pen, Microsoft has been losing the baseball game ever since.

Best of luck for Microsoft’s search for the search of success.   Why not go and grade Microsoft’s latest attempt in search.  Go to Bing dot com.  Do you know what Bing means anyway beyond the similar cutsie Google-like name?

Well, nothing new really.  Bill Gates has stepped down from the active role of chief imaginator after stepping down as CEO some years back.  Over time I have grown nausious at times thinking how big Microsoft got.

There’s no questions necessary to confirm Bill Gates was the man that changed the way productivity was measured in the 20th century.  Within 20-years the workplace evolved through the information revolution.  It took a hundred years or more to pull off the industrial revolution.

Microsoft is still used to getting it’s way with everything.  No longer can the computer provide the bread-and-butter.  The computer has gone from a paper-weight, to electronic typewriter, power tool for numerous tasks, and a window into a vast sea of knowledge and productivity gains never seen as such in history.

We all have this to blame on Bill Gates with distaste and gratitude.  The jobs in the workforce Microsoft created alone for his company and all other sibling industries is staggering.  However, at the same time Microsoft went from an engine of innovation to a blob of blubber pushing people around and buying other entities it lacked in innovation as it got more bloated.

Ultimately, like all industry giants, Microsoft has matured in the economic sense that the only thing left is to diversify.  So in the macro economics world it only makes sense to buy other sectors to grow.  Since the Internet took off, which Mr. Gore didn’t invent, Microsoft has struggled.  No longer do big monster size corporations rule the business world.  Now small entities, as small as one, can churn unbelievable opportunity.

The computer is here to stay, but we don’t need Microsoft to repair it.  Let the competition do it.  We really need that.
