| Squilliam said: I just read it. Noone could possibly retort what he said because he didn't actually say anything. It sort of started off on the right direction and then we're left with a bunch of bla bla bla and assertions. Does Microsoft actually know whats going on? Do they actually have the ability to connect with a wider audience? In my opinion he failed to prove whether they did or didn't. Now I understand that Microsoft are pretty retarded on a systematic level within their organisation but he still didn't present a strong case. In this case Malstrom failed to shoot the fish in the barrel, slow clap for Malstrom. That is my assessment of what he wrote. |
He got off the point pursuing his favourite subject of 'old school' and how it faded away, it happens =) But I can tell you in few words what he could have said if he didn't get off the point - Kinect is a marketing without a substance, and how MS is out of control of the "fire" that burns them (the latter, I believe, is reference to the metaphor used in disruption literature).
BTW if my memory serves me right he did give MS a credit for better understanding of the situation, I know this because few months ago I had an discussion with him on that matter. I haven't read his blog at the time so I didn't know his stance on Natal from the beginning (which's merely the same I've presented above). Thesis I was defending, or rather my understanding of what Natal should have been, was pretty close to your position. He didn't change my mind then, but looking at how things are rolling out, I'm agreeing with him more and more .

Well, it depends on definition of "fail", but regardless you should prepare yourself for the worst =)
