More MSFT FUD

The big announcement of the new MSFT tablet that will be out the same time as Win 8 has reminded me of the perpetual FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) campaign that MSFT has waged for many, many years. Their line is always “wait for our new product, don’t buy theirs. Our’s will be spectacular and theirs is mediocre”. It’s the same mantra, time after time. MSFT became very rich using the tactic and put some fine companies out of business. I guess they’re trying the same formula again.

One more  thing, here’s my bold prediction on Win8 and the new Tablet: the pattern of the past will repeat!!

Win98 was a big winner
WinMe was a dud
WinXp was a big winner
WinV was a dud
Win7 was a winner
Win8 and it’s offspring will be.... Duds!!
