Gustav von Sydow on digital advertising, online media and tech start-ups

Picked this RDM-post up at Slashdot. It does a wonderful job explaining why Zune will fail. Again. But also why MS will continue to have overall problems:

All the company can do is continue to throw money at music on one front while it battles Google in search on another, Linux servers in another, OpenOffice in another, Blu-Ray in another, and Nintendo in console gaming. Meanwhile, its flagship Windows Vista product is in flames while Apple eats into the profitable end of consumer desktops and Linux increasingly eats into its installed base in low cost desktop sales.

Well worth a read. And while you’re at it, read this one about MS Office profits. Sick.
