"Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's incoming chief software architect, left one important detail out of his Goldman Sachs Technology Investment Symposium presentation this week: Windows Live.
The omission—stark contrast to his last public speech—forebodes about Windows Live's future as a brand. The substantial content of the Goldman Sachs presentation is similar to Ozzie's talk during Microsoft's annual financial analysts meeting last July. But in the earlier speech, Ozzie mentioned "Windows Live" about 20 times. During this week's presentation, he mentioned Windows Live not at all. The question is, why?" "We expect Windows Live will be gone by the end of the year," said Paul DeGroot, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft." <http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/web_services_browser/wanted_dead_or_live.html> _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
