What is Microsoft's Real Intent??? (Score 1)

What is Live.com's intent? Is it just a portal, or is it your new OS? Consider this, an online operating system that can be used from anywhere that has internet access. I know most computers have operating systems, but does your Cell Phone have an GUI OS? Does your Car have a GUI OS? Does your iPod have a GUI OS? Could your Palm or iPaq have a GUI OS that is consistent across all platforms? The answer is frightning. Think about it, all Big Brother (I mean Microsoft) needs to do is rely on the evolution of wireless Internet. They will no longer need to sell you an OS that runs your machine, when they can sell you a subscription to use your OS on your microwave, TV, phone, car, and portable music player. Microsoft wants everyone to pay a monthly utility bill or subscription for the privledge of accessing your personal files on the internet. The internet will run on everything that has a wi-fi card, and a screen, and your OS will be Live.com... Sure there are some advantages, like shared colaboration of files, and the ability to run Windows from my Mac, but think about it. Who safeguards your data? Who has their billion command lines into your appliances? How will microsoft keep it from crashing? May you live in interesting times. TraderZoo.com
