I know Apple is very slow to innovate software wise, but Microsoft doesn't have a very aggressive approach neither... Microsoft was a software company first. I know that a lot of updates makes it easier to screw up and that going progressively is safer, but I didn't see the software company show any aggressiveness. They are passive.
I wish Microsoft could wow us with amazing new ideas in WP8.1, but I know its all about being on par with everyone else. There's is the problem. Are they looking to lead the pack or they just want to be part of it?
I'm staying with WP as I love the OS, but why can't Microsoft show their teeth a little bit? Apple with iOS 7 and their new low cost iPhone will outshine WP(again) if 8.1 isn't more than what we already know. I'm not a fan of iOS7, but you guys know Apple's fans... They would buy anything that comes with the fruit's logo on it. What incentive Microsoft needs to really start the hard work?
There's nothing wrong with being at the same level as your competitors, but a race needs a winner and whoever aim for the first place has more chances of being #1.
Smoothness or specs? Its proven by now, the spec sheet is still important and the top selling smartphones all have better specs than most WP. Blogger loves to compare specs and people use them to know which smartphone they show buy. The end result is that Android rules the smartphones.
WP can succeed, but again Microsoft isn't helping. I guess, "Be so good they can't ignore you". Should be in Ballmer's office. Seriously how many times a CEO can miss the boat before he gets fired? Apple fires who ever isn't capable enough. Yes, Microsoft is more profitable, but the whole world love to take a good laugh at them and Ballmer whenever they can... That's never good... Tim Cook is not as good as Steve Jobs, yet I don't see much hate going towards him.. Ballmer removed the great new features from the Xbox One and fired the guy in charge of the Xbox team to take the lead. Now the Xbox is not better than the PS4.
The big reorg is good. Fine. But who's in charge? The same guy who seems to screw up everytime. I know that Ballmer isn't going anywhere until they have no other choice, but to fire him... But I still hope that one day I will wake up and he will have retired for good. When most news websites want him out... There's something to understand there.
I hope I didn't kill you interest in MS' products I deeply love them, but I needed to share my thoughts on the subject. Microsoft delivers good products that could be great if they had a CEO with a better vision.
This makes me think of... The Peter principle... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle
