Enderle tenuously links Microsoft-Apple struggle with U.S. election

I believe if we ignore this person they just might go away.

Whatever.

I'm starting to get sick of this shit. The internet, web, has given rise to this useless form of "journalism". I guess when you have a new medium and you don't have any good messages it still gets filled but with useless crap from morons, like Enderle, who feel they have license to print their opinions as fact and feel it's their mission to edify the rest of the world.

Hey moron! your own words back at you...

"It's Dangerous to Assume People Are Stupid"

Moron.

Tool or douche? That's the real question here. If you have only one word available to describe Enderle, which is it? Your non-tech friends ask you whether to take a quote from him seriously. You turn to the side and let the single word drip out, then cough slightly. I'm going with tool. (I also like the idea of saying "Obama is like a Mac, while McCain is like a telegraph key.)

I can never summon vehement-enough words to describe this fiend.

Isn't he the only analyst at at the Enderle Group, a division of Enderle Global Enterprises, A COMPANY OF ONE PERSON?

I just finnished reading Enderle's article and I must say: as a former English teacher the best grade this article could receive would be a C+.

One thing that a 'A' paper or even 'B' paper would do is try to earn the readers trust by using specific examples. yes, he may summarize things, but he gives no specific examples. he doesn't explain what interoperability problems are or give a specific example of one. He doesn't explain why moving from Windows to Mac can be "about as ugly as you can get." And he doesn't explain what is wrong with the Macbook Keyborads, he only says that there is something wrong.

Another problem from a writing standpoint is that you never want to beat your reader over the head with your agenda before you have won them over. It's like I would tell students "you can start your paper off telling people that abortion is wring and you will scare half of them away, or you can take a different route and explain that all people have a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and from there ease into the abortion issue."

Everybody here is correct, he is without a doubt, a MS PR/Marketing whore. But he gives away some of Microsoft's strategy in his little rant. When negative PR comes from a company or political party it can make them look desperate, but when it comes from an "unaffiliated source" it doesn't look half as bad. For example, Microsoft uses Enderle; the Republicans use Swift Boat.

I think we all know what's going on here. Enderle is not only trying to slam Apple with bad PR, but he is trying to draw a connection between the Democrats (projected winners of the 2008 election) and Microsoft, in order to make Microsoft look like the underdog, out-of-the-box, cool, and trendy winners lust like the Dems.

But you all know what he is already.

Peace.

See, here's the problem. Enderle's an attention whore. So by posting this story you're just encouraging him. He has nothing useful to add to the conversation, he just wants people to pay attention to him. Ignore him and eventually he'll go away.

I think most consumers would associate Obama with a Mac, and McCain with a Windows PC (or perhaps a telegraph key).

Other than that, I would agree that Windows 7 (scheduled for 2010, so expected in 2012) is Microsoft's vociferous response to today's Mac OS. Microsoft's customers will be gratified to know they need only wait a couple of years to catch up.

"Apple's campaign has truly pissed off Microsoft, and Windows 7 is that company's way of saying, 'Steve Jobs can kiss my a**,' or more simply, 'enough,'" he wrote."

So he is saying that without competition we would have been stuck with crap like Vista? It seems he's admitting Vista is crap. And Windows 7 hasn't shipped yet. I can buy Leopard. And when Snow Leopard comes out on time, I can buy that too and I'll guarantee it will be better than Windows 7.

Robert Enderle is a MS schill, he was a schill for the Sco Linux lawsuits, and a schill for apple/microsoft. I can not trust anything that comes out of this guys mouth.
