Microsoft against Seattle?
More good thoughts by a good guy.... Jeff Reifman
Seattle Weekly article
What has been best for Microsoft's shareholders has not always been best for Washington taxpayers and our community.
It's time we stopped acquiescing to the behemoth in Redmond, because what's good for big business isn't necessarily good for Washington.
Until now, Microsoft has enjoyed tremendous financial success. But it's entering a new era of software competition. It won't be able to rely on the dominance of the Windows operating system to be profitable. In fact, Microsoft's dependence on revenue from Windows and its other flagship product, the Office suite of applications, makes it vulnerable to new and increasingly popular alternatives to those now-ubiquitous programs. The free market is responding to the monopoly in Redmond. It's going to get tough.
