What to Market

Why did Microsoft computers take off better than Apple Computers? Price and Desktop

Apple has always been built with Enterprise in mind. They came directly from UNIX. They were way ahead of their time and were marketing to people that didn't grow up with computers on every desk.

That was their failure, but what they did was pave the road for Microsoft.

Microsoft didn't target the Business, they targeted the user. They knew they had to get their product on every user before they could earn the business.

That's exactly what companies like Ubuntu, Mint, openSUSE, Tor, BSD, MS, Apple, IBM, and the like need to concentrate on.

Malware isn't so much of a problem as it was in the past, and really people don't care :-D GOD love em' but what is a problem is finding that damn driver!

Have to get up move around look in closets for a disk. Oh, I can download it! YEAH :-Oh yeah, forgot...they don't support that software anymore ::-(

Plug and Play really works on Linux and is where the direction of computers are going.

You really have to give credit to Google for that movement. Google Chrome offered Wireless printing to any printer.

Microsoft had Plug and Play before Google obviously, it's just Chrome did it perfectly the first time.

Quicken is compatible with GnuCash and is free, so again, another great marketing feature.

Being able to make devices work without having to search or download  a driver for is gold in the bank.

It's not that computer companies aren't thinking about that, because they are, it's that they need to provide features for it which takes us back to...software.

Just keep the old computer running and keep people happy should be your tag line.

Here's an idea, a computer cleaning service...mobile :-)

When you begin to second guess logic is when you fail.

example: Apple came from mainframe has been on mainframe and coincidentally enough may be the debate of whether or not it will be why they collapsed on the mainframe...

Live and die by the Sword.

Plug and Play makes me happay ;-) have a nice...
