Enterprise Kungfu 101 – never respond to Microsoft's bait

What we’re seeing in the cloud era is not just hundreds of millions but billions of new users and devices now coming into play.

Windows 7 is probably going to be at 55o million to 600 million licenses by year end and people still are refusing to get off of XP and he makes this prediction? Yes tablets and other devices will compete with the desktop and yes the desktop will lose some ground to tablets etc but the hyperbole is a little much. Especially since it wasn’t exactly backed up by any specific data that would validate that thinking. The personal PC’s reign may be coming to an end but the timing of the message and the messenger just aren’t credible in this case…]]>
