Microsoft e sua "live core cloud of services" (seja lá o que for isso)

Phil Wainewright again!

Dessa vez, Phil levanta a bola da crise de identidade da MS entre ser uma empresa de serviços (no futuro, veja meu post sobre Ray Ozzie). Veja a pérola:

"Examples like this give fleeting glimpses of what Live can and should become, and yet so many Live initiatives frequently stumble as if Microsoft simply cannot shake off its old self. In January, I highlighted Office Live's abysmal treatment of its beta adopters. Then last month an unnoticed bug on Microsoft's newly launched AdCenter cost-per-click advertising service began overcharging advertisers by thousands of dollars. The bug was quickly fixed and customers refunded (sometimes by too much, though), but it's a useful reminder of how software errors become so much more calamitous when you're delivering services on-demand — and of just how impressive by comparison Google's almost flawless execution of its AdWords and AdCenter services has been over the years."

Essa mudança vai looonnnngggeee....

SENTAPUA! E vamos à luta, filhos da Pátria!
