Sorry Microsoft, but consumers just don't like you....

"Look at Google, for example, which has faced plenty of accusations over privacy concerns in recent years, and is now dealing with numerous investigations over possible anti-competitive behavior. Consider Apple too, which had to deal with the iPhone 4 'Antennagate furor and the embarrassingly poor quality Maps app. Yet in these instances, and others, consumers have quickly moved beyond these companies’ controversies, and returned to faithfully buying their products in the millions.

But consumers seem to have curiously long memories when it comes to Microsoft. The company’s frequent brushes with antitrust regulators, and its monolithic and often arrogant reputation, remain etched in the broader consumer consciousness as an affirmation that Microsoft is the big, evil conglomerate attempting to control and manipulate its way to the top. It’s perhaps fair to say that few consumers would articulate their impressions of Microsoft with specific reference to its anti-competitive actions of yesteryear, but fewer still would have kind words to say about what the company has since become if ‘antitrust’ and ‘Microsoft’ were uttered in the same sentence (...) Perhaps the only major Microsoft brand that consumers have any strong, positive emotional connection with is Xbox. For years, the company kept it at arm’s length from the rest of its operations, with only limited references to its Microsoft lineage, evidently recognizing that drawing a connection between the two might do more harm than good. More recently, Microsoft has seen the value of the equity it has built in the Xbox brand, giving the console’s dashboard a Metro-style update, and rebranding and integrating its entertainment services into its phone and PC offerings."

Sorry, Microsoft, but consumers just don't like you - Neowin
 
I find it so odd how people are quick to bad mouth Windows than anything. Over the years, I'm come across people that are just so indifferent to Windows and have such odd ideas about it. Like for example, a year ago someone told me they didn't like Windows because they release a new version like every year. False. When I was telling a friend about how awesome my Windows Phone is, he said, "Oh Windows is everything, they put it on everything." It also seems some people think Windows is the ACTUAL company, not Microsoft. Kind of idiotic I find...

Yet, Xbox does amazingly well even though it has had a lot of Red Ring of Death issues in the later years of the 360's release. Microsoft updates the UI of Xbox pretty often, but yet no hate against it. It's actually been the top selling console for close to two years straight. The Surface tablets interestingly enough, the few people I know who have one, have NOTHING to say about it other than praise. LITERALLY. I was actually quite surprised and glad about that, considering some here do nothing but bad mouth it and call it, "Meh."

And there was mention in the article about people moving on past Microsoft (Windows) onto other platforms such as android and ios. That's where the plight is I see for OEMs. People can do much on their phablets as their PCs, some can't obviously. But this is where the issue comes, a three hundred dollar android tablet or ipad mini sounds better than a touch netbook with Windows 8 for about 400 or so dollars, EVEN though it is a much better value and offer and deal. This is where Windows RT should really shine, or at least Windows 8.1 with it's rumored support for smaller screen sizes along with Intel saying 200 dollar Atom based tablets are possible very soon. Actually, I'm thinking that the lack of tablet PCs out in physical electronic retailers is doing some lack of charm to Windows 8. That's where Windows 8 shines real nicely, but the OEM tablet PCs aren't there yet. They have to adapt to that, seeing as again, people can use an android or ios tablet for their daily needs. KEY PHRASE there.

There are certain people out there that CANNOT work or live without a PC especially without Windows. I cannot. I am a media junkie and Windows is the platform to support those needs. I am a Photoshop and CAD user, Windows is the platform for those needs. Along with Office of course...I'd hate to use LibreOffice or whatever meh software is out there like that.

The other product that got a lot of positve feedback was Office. And now they are trying to muck that up too.

Speaking of Office, I never really thought other than myself to really like it, especially 2013. I've gotten several messages on facebook in the past couple of months as well as a couple of friends posting about how awesome 2013 is. WOW! To me, liking Office is a nerdy thing to like, but when normal casual people say, "THE NEW OFFICE IS SO COOL!!!" on facebook? What?! It to me strikes as odd.

Hi there.

GARTNER again --when will people stop believing the rubbish that organisation spouts out every 30 mins.

For starters Who says people don't love using OFFICE -- nobody ever asked ME --I LOVE using EXCEL whether at work or at home and throughout my whole career it's probably the application I 've used longer and over more time than anything else.

I don't HATE windows either -- it works, is convenient and usually does the job its intended to do.

I can't say that ANY other OS I've used works straight out of the box -- even most Linuxes --true they work 90 - 95% of the time but with Linux there's ALWAYS something that doesn't work first time and needs to be fixed --for example it might be something as trivial as a Printer -- it's more often Wireless network cards which makes fixing the problem harder if you can't connect to a wired LAN to get to the internet. And don't forget until recently you had to go through hoops and rings tgo get any sort of commercial DVD playing to work --remember when you had to pick up the LIBCSS de-encryption libraries from a site in Brazil or elsewhere to get the wretched players to work and Linux is still a bit "Iffy" with TV and satellite tuners.

It's rare that a Windows installation requires a lot "Post installation work" to get a functional system.

Smart phones --I would have had a W8 phone if it had been available and at the price point that I got the Samsung Galaxy IIIs for -- I can't really say that I'm bothered about WHAT OS is on the phone provided the browser works, there's a few SENSIBLE applications for it and I can read the screen decently.

As to worrying about the future income stream of Ms --you can say that over EVERY business on this planet -- even organisations like the US Federal Govt have been known to run out of money at times --Ms isn't in ANY imminent danger of doing that.

True there will need to be some changes to W8 that's just plain obvious and the leaked versions of "Blue" or Windows 8.1 are pointing in that direction.

Apple of course is more known as a consumer company -- Ms merely provided the platform for consumer products to run on -- OK It's getting more interested and will take a while before these can come on stream --BTW XBOX is doing quite nicely).

Of course if you look at the Markets where the REAL business sentiment is to be found -- GARTNER PLEASE TAKE NOTE Ms has been doing very nicely while Apple has been absolutely CANED. Of course with the sheer volume of cash Apple has it can probably ride out the storm - but it needs to get some new products out there --a new Iphone model 6 (say) by itself won't cut it anymore - nor will just bribing the stockholders with extra dividend cash to persuade them to keep holding the stock.

The whole market needs new products at the moment -- Smart TV's are out there but we need some new "Gadgets" and there just aren't any currently. - 3D TV is a hopeless disaster as are 3D movies -- whoever came up with that ludicrous idea that we'd all be sitting at home INSIDE watching TV wearing "Dark Glasses" -- Certainly wasn't anybody who had even the remotest idea of how young kids and Dogs behave. Can't blame Ms on this one for the lack of "Gadgets".

When I studied in London many years ago I'd often love wandering around Tottenham Court Road where all the electronic shops were and looking at new gadgets - even if I didn't have enough money to buy them. --Now it's just a boring old shopping street looking very similar to those you can can see in 1000's of towns / shopping malls around the world.

Don't write Ms off yet. Those Enterprise W7 licenses are LONG TERM value.

Cheers
jimbo

I don't dislike ms per se, but I do abhor stupidity, greed and arrogance, which ms is clearly guilty of with the whole metro disaster. It should be clear to any thinking person that ms absolutely should included options to boot to desktop, bypass metro, include start button & menu and disable that ridiculous charms and hot pockets nonsense.

I mean seriously, if a tiny little free add on could achieve all that so easily, it is the height of hubris for ms not to have done so....

Oh, and that they now seem poised to return the start button, but tie it the metro start page clearly indicates that they still have not figured it out, leading to a nasty little situation whereby they will now have two successive flops on their hands.

Oh well... they cannot say that they were not warned.....

I think the difference between Google and Microsoft is this......Google is a choice and always has been. Microsoft has been really the only choice unless you went with an Apple.

Not to mention the fact that you need to use 2 different ecosystems if you want an iphone or Android.

I've already messed with those two and i'm done with them. Too boring ios and too many things to get Android working right. I've messed with plenty of JB roms to care to speak about. So, I ditched them and went full MS because I don't want to use 2 or three ecosystems.

I'm all for the final convergence for everything to work smoothly and seamlessly between phone and pc, but it's a looooong waiting game with MS that is trying my patience.

I am about to trade my Nokia and go back to Android. The phone itself is great, but WP8 is just lacking! No VPN, No RDC, Can't save video attachments (MMS or Email), no way to download files that the phone doesn't understand (.exe, .zip, .rar for use later), app store is abismal at the least. Doesn't seem like there is much dev. going on for it.

While I agree in the general one eco system theory, I think MS has missed the mark and came to the party a little late IMO of course....

Geeve
