06/07/2004 10:33 AMThe long-running legal battles between Microsoft Corp. and governments
in Europe and the United States make the company look like a partner
in a bad marriage, ready to walk out and call the divorce lawyer.
But in Southeast Asia, the software giant seems more like an ardent
suitor, wooing governments with sweet promises and gifts--such as
unprecedented bargain prices on its Windows operating system.

02/11/2004 09:36 PM Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people
represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they
want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to
account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to
friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions.
Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social
interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied
this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they

MVPs keep bashing competition of
Microsoft (Linux, Symbian) and cajoling
users to get Microsoft products
01/28/2004 01:31 PMApparently Microsoft MVPs not only are helping users of Microsoft
products, but are also officially bashing Microsoft´s competition:
Robert Levy says that Windows Mobile from Microsoft is better than
Linux, because operators will earn less money with Linux (and thus
forgets one important factor: users don´t like to part with their
money very much): Linux is proclaiming "Pick me! I´ll decrease your
costs!" while Microsoft is getting right to the heart of the matter by
boasting "Pick me! I´ll increase your revenue." One offers to cut the
cost of each device by a few dollars. The other offers to increase the
amount of money customers pay to their carrier each month by a few
dollars. This doesn´t sound like a very difficult decision to me.

Microsoft launch new line of Hardware
products
Microsoft launch new line of Hardware
products
09/08/2004 09:14 AMMicrosoft's hardware division, unlike some of its others, has rarely
received criticism for the products they release. Always slick, always
working well, Microsoft have always done their Hardware well. Today,
Microsoft are updating the line with a variety of newly designed
models.
The main element to the update is the addition of finger print
technology. Tried by other hardware makers, the technology hasn't
really had much attention asides from high-end, security critical
systems; with backing from a big player (the player?) the technology
could go mainstream. Microsoft are integrating the technology into
their hardware and software solutions, allowing users to give prints
rather than passwords. A good move, increasing security and decreasing
hassle for end users, as well as being pretty cool. No doubt, a
popular addition to the hardware line. You can get the reader as a
stand alone device (see screenshots below), or on an Optical Desktop
with Fingerprint Reader, or finally on a Wireless IntelliMouse
Explorer with Fingerprint Reader.
Microsoft have never had a specific product out for mobile users mouse
wise; they've changed this with the new line up. A cleverly designed
wireless optical mouse with a receiver that snaps away when not in
use. Microsoft claim to have 3 yards (~ 1 metre) range, which is
probably sufficient for most situations. They also claim to give users
3 months of usage on one set of batteries, a big increase on current /
previous wireless mices - this claim is made across the range of new
mice, and one would congratulate the hardware team if they've pulled
it off; Many users are deterred from wireless products due to the cost
of having to replace batteries regularly.
Elsewhere, they've redesigned the keyboards with better curves, new
buttons, and of course, finger print readers. The new models claim to
have 6 months life before needing a battery check up - no too shabby.
Further, the Wireless Optical Desktop and the new Digital Media Pro
Keyboard feature a new Zoom Slider that lets users quickly and easily
zoom in and out of images and documents. Talking of sliders, the new
range of mice all feature the '4 directional' mouse wheels (
tilt wheel technology) that Microsoft
introduced last year, allowing you to scroll left / right as well as
up / down. The Bluetooth option is similar in design, and is
functional with other Bluetooth enabled devices up to 10 metres away.
It also works as a Bluetooth base station.
All in all, a pretty good new line up. Microsoft have added some new
features and have updated designs to keep them competitive with
other vendors. We'll take a look at some of
the new gear closer up, later in the year. The products will be
available in 2005; for estimated prices click "read
