New Microsoft Focus
August 2, 2010
The lingo is now Job One. In 2008 it was enterprise search. (And how is that working out?) Then I learned that the real focus has been cloud computing since 1995. The other day there were eight focus points. Today I read “Ballmer: Microsoft-Powered Tablets Are ‘Job One Urgency’.” I know Microsoft is a big outfit and can handle lots of different tasks at the same time. I am, however, surprised that the target changes so quickly. The areas on which Microsoft is attending at the * same * time are big dudes, people. For me, this was the killer passage in the write up referenced Microsoft’s forthcoming iPad killer:
“They’ll be shipping as soon as they are ready,” Ballmer said, offering few details on the products, which he said will come from partners, not Microsoft itself. “It is job one urgency. No one is sleeping at the switch.”
Like the Kin?
