If you want to be great in your business, you have to learn how to tell people exactly what they want to hear. Microsoft’s president of EMEA region did exactly the right thing: he said that Microsoft will beat Google on US market in less than 6 months by introducing superior search engine available on web and integrated into Hotmail and Messenger. How? I have no idea, but Mr. Holloway claims it will be “twice as good” so we should believe him, right? But wait Enis, didn’t he say Microsoft will go beyond finding URLs and instead focus on specific information sought by Internet users? Oops, he did, but he didn’t say how Microsoft is going to do “it”. And, favorite quote:
“Should we add a Google-like search engine but twice as good hard-core into Windows? Guess what. If we did that, I don’t think a company called Google would be very happy,” Holloway said.

Apple’s big announcement = big apple
Despite numerous rumors about Apple’s big announcements for Tuesday, Apple showed only new line of Mac Mini computers (as I was expecting) along with not-really-portable iPod Hi-Fi system priced at $349 and incredible (cough) leather case for iPod video. That’s all folks. Now sit back and enjoy while waiting for “Big Origami Thursday”.

Origami coming
Are you excited? Only 4 days left until Microsoft shows “the thing” that will set us free. I was hoping Microsoft would drop the idea and give real software support to the PDAs, but that isn’t going to happen. According to various rumors, Origami will bring touchpad along with support for Wi-Fi and Xbox games. Now I’m just wondering what will people say if rumors about touchpad iPod come to true as well. This will be interesting week, there is no doubt. Now someone please set me free.
