What if Microsoft wasn’t the corporation behind Windows 8? Windows 8 you say? YES! Lets get a little crazy! YEEEHAAA How would you feel if Nike or Pepsi shocked the world and bought Microsoft’s future operating system? Windows 8 designed by someone other than Microsoft could shake up the operating system market! What about a chocolate company, cadbury or hersey’s?
We are pretty confident that this would never happen of course. Why would a company that has no business getting into an operating system wish to buy an operating system? To diversify and sell their other products, control advertising, and dictate the behaviors of the users using an operating system such as Windows 8. Of course, they wouldn’t keep the name Microsoft and would probably rename Windows 8 to something like “Delicious”.
The point of this Windows 8 article? Technology starts off being fresh and new, it reaches maturity and all is well, then greed sets in during the decline. They exploit the shit out of the remaining customers and tries to go nuts with advertising tactics of pushing their other products or playing games with rebates. Commercialization is great to a point of decline! The only chance Microsoft has with Windows 8 would be a fresh ground breaking idea.
