Microsoft prepares rethink on Windows 8 flagship software
http://j.mp/17ehQ7J (Financial Times)
"It's a horrible thing for this to happen to your flagship product
- he'll [Steve Ballmer] take a hit for that," said Mark Anderson,
an independent tech analyst. "But he's also responsible for a
renaissance inside the company. There's a level of risk and
creativity going on that would never have happened two years ago."
Richard Doherty, analyst at tech research firm Envisioneering,
said: "This is like New Coke, going on for seven months - only
Coke listened better." Coca-Cola dropped its New Coke formula in
response to a consumer backlash less than three months after
launch.
