MVPs keep bashing competition of

01/28/2004 01:31 PM

Apparently 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.

12/21/2003 12:06 PM
Microsoft has started distributing two online surveys to Linux User Groups and Linux users in general, one asking primarily about home computer use, the other about business use. They apparently don't plan to release the results of their surveys, so we and other people in the open source community are asking you to look at them and post your answers and comments here and on other appropriate sites where, in open source style, everyone can see them. Read on for more information and links, and please help spread the word about these surveys; as far as we know, this is the first time Microsoft has asked Linux users why we use Linux instead of their products, and the more results, the merrier. Author's Note: I'll reveal some of *my* answers to Microsoft's questions in a comment I'll post shortly after this story goes live, just to kick things off.

Microsoft partners with cell phone foe
Symbian
03/22/2005 03:49 PM
Symbian, a maker of operating systems for cell phones, has licensed software from rival Microsoft, in a sign of growing cooperation between the two companies.

Symbian, based in London, said it will develop software that lets Symbian phones work with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 e-mail, calendar, contacts and other personal-information tools, then make it available to Symbian licensees. Licensing terms were not disclosed. Both companies say the deal is meant to help sell more Symbian-based phones to corporate clientele. These handsets are known as smart phones because they have advanced capabilities such as word processing. Symbian is closely aligned with the smart-phone plans of Fujitsu and Nokia. Nokia is a part owner of Symbian.

Microsoft Licenses Exchange Client for
Symbian
03/22/2005 04:46 PM

Last year during the launch of the Treo 650, one of the overlooked bits of news was that the mail client would work with Microsoft Exchange Server (well, not totally overlooked, but you know what I mean). Now Microsoft has announced a deal to license a similar function to Symbian-powered smartphones, which is generally seen as a move to fight off RIM's BlackBerry mail service, which is moving out onto non-RIM phones like the Siemens SK65. Good news if you've got a business that runs an Exchange server, but not all that interesting if you're just a shlub like me with a great big IMAP account. Expect to see Symbian phones with the functionality next year.

And while you're over at MobileTracker, you might check out Jon's video of the Samsung A970, the EV-DO phone that eats like a camcorder.
