Chinese Competitor To Microsoft Office
Ready

Chinese Competitor To Microsoft Office
Ready 05/18/2004 02:52 AM
It was just a few years ago that the conventional wisdom was that Microsoft had won the OS war, won the browser war and (most convincingly of all) won the office productivity suite war. It looks like they're facing increasing competition on all of those fronts - but the most surprising may be the office productivity suite arena. Star Office/Open Office has gotten plenty of attention, but recently we saw IBM launch their own hosted suite but the biggest opportunities may be outside the US. Already, there are stories about China, Japan and Korea working on alternative operating systems and applications to get out from under the Microsoft thumb, and now Evermore is launching the latest version of their EI Office suite which is specifically targeted at the Chinese market. They offer versions of the software in Simplified Chinese, American English and Japanese. The one area where they might be causing themselves trouble is with the price. They offer two options: rentals at $99/year or $249 for 3 years - which isn't all that different from Microsoft's own pricing. If they really want to cause trouble, they should under price Microsoft.

Linux not ready for prime time
enterprise: Microsoft 04/11/2005 03:37 AM
At the corporate level, the Linux platform just can't deliver the total cost of ownership (TCO), integration, ease-of-use, and functionality benefits that Windows offers by comparison. It's a line that has been repeated for many moons, only this time Microsoft Canada decided to try and prove it. Thus, the software giant hired Richmond Hill, Ont.-based VAR Compugen Inc. to review Windows Server 2003 and enterprise-level distributions of Linux from Red Hat and Novell's SuSE, and examine the practical implications of using one operating system (OS) versus another. The test compared the usability characteristics of the three OSs in terms of performing a set of typical IT tasks from setting up user profiles to installation and to managing desktop security.

Amazon A9: Froogle Competitor?

Amazon A9: Froogle Competitor? 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
AP: Amazon.com invades Google's turf with Silicon Valley startup.Seattle-based Amazon has dubbed its search startup "A9" and set up offices in Palo Alto, not far from Google's Mountain View headquarters. A9 hopes to launch in October with 30 employees and grow much larger as it develops a search engine that will be licensed to other Web sites, said spokeswoman Alison Diboll. [...] Unlike Google, A9 isn't trying to develop an all-purpose search engine that indexes billions of Web pages. Instead, the startup is focusing on a search engine sweet spot -- e-commerce.The article is very vague so it's hard to get a handle one exactly what A9 is, but it does sound a lot like Froogle, Google's shopping search engine. (Thanks, Ahmad.)...
