G+_George Kozi Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 @ Mary Jo Foley. I'm a Windows 8 user. This episode Of Windows weekly is the first one that made me feel disappointment. I happen to have liked what Larry Page did in the keynote. And if I'd have to choose between a company led by Mr. Ballmer or one led by Larry Page, it would be an easy decision. Yesterday Google gave me a lot of stuff I like, and I will use daily. A bit of humility coming from Microsoft would be a good thing, don't you think?

G+_Brian Allen Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Couldn't agree more. Ballmer reminds me of an anachronistic, industrial salesman - bar-fly who used to frequent hotel lobbies years ago. MS really is out of touch when it comes to connecting with the consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matthew Bowen Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Not just the consumer Brian Allen , but also those of us that support the consumers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Damian Mongru Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I haven't listened to WW this week. Just wanted to say that I thought Larry Page's speech at IO was excellent. It was a developer conference and he tried to inspire and motivate them. He did this well. It also didn't seem overtly Google-centric - in general terms, he said why he loved tech, it was nice to hear general educational notions (we need more people involved involved in maths and science) and that you can change the world with it. I may listen to it again, I don't want to make it sound like it was perfect, I'm sure MS and Oracle have issues with what was said, and it's easy for a multi-billionaire to say that money isn't important, but overall, the tone and sentiment were great.

G+_Con Diamantis Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 they have to get this Dr Pizza guy (peter bright) on more, he and Leo had very lively discussion on Windows 8. I think it was one of the better WW episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 if they do, that would be the day when TWiT goes for the equivalent of showing the girl in bikini or the rodeo clown to the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Damian Mongru Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I listened to WW today, and the discussion of Larry Page's speech was okay. Random thoughts: It wasn't a Google IO used to showcase new things, but instead showed some iteration and consolidation of products. So it was a bit unfair calling out that Larry Page mentioned 'we should be building new things' and relating it specifically to the rest of the keynote. There is a huge difference between negativity and critical opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
