Comment on Microsoft will ‘crush’ Google, ‘muscle-out’ Apple in smartphone/tablet markets

Comments

So a man with - quite literally - a vested interest in Microsoft is... boosting Microsoft? Film at 11.

I would have enjoyed reading a more detailed presentation of Charles Sizemore's analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the three companies he discusses; this soundbite-y stuff is a bit weak and unsatisfying. Why, for example, is end-to-end control of the platform worse than only owning a bit of it? Why is advertising unsustainable as a business model? There isn't enough here to agree or disagree with, it's just an opinion by someone who's (probably unfairly) made to sound like another ex-frat boy with an MBA and a limited supply of non-sporting metaphors.

And the depressing thing that these soundbites already say that he didn't (want to) explain more.
