Why we don’t hire .NET programmers

CEO Friday: Why we don’t hire .NET programmers « Expensify Blog

very interesting point of view. "As someone who grew up using and ultimately becoming frustrated with the limitations of Microsoft tools, .." I can highly relate to that fact :). Well but the basic is always the same, choose the right tools for the task. The wrong thing to do is choosing .NET because thats what you already know. There are just many other great tools out there ..

"Microsoft Has Become A Joke"

Drunk On Licensing Fees And Patents, Microsoft Has Become A Joke

A bit hard on MS but still a lot seems to be true. The business model just is outdated nowadays. But I guess it will still take years for MS to understand how wrong they are. With all the failed opportunities they had in the last 10 years or so. And those few success stories that where only possible by pushing hard with lots of cash. I'm not sure if when MS realizes how wrong they are that it's not already too late. Similar to Nokia, they realized that years too late as well.
