Comments on: Windows XP Starter Edition For Slomos Only? http://www.heritage-tech.net/31/windows-xp-starter-edition-for-slomos-only/ A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:24:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Azmeen http://www.heritage-tech.net/31/windows-xp-starter-edition-for-slomos-only/#comment-15 Azmeen Sat, 14 May 2005 05:03:59 +0000 http://www.heritage-tech.net/?p=31#comment-15 Actually, the strength of Microsoft lies in its efficient marketing strategies, albeit sometimes they can be seen as unethical. I've been in the IT industry for more than 10 years and in my earlier years just couldn't understand how they managed to pull these stunts. The fact is, Microsoft is a globally-known brand name... and they are recognised. In fact, they are so recognised that Microsoft, Windows, and Office are synonym to computing. What us technically adept consumers could do is to advocate rival technologies that can perform at par, or even better than Microsoft's offerings. Sure, the resistance to change will always be there. But most people will listen to common sense once they get over the marketing brouhaha.
