Perhaps Microsoft should have paid you to endorse their products. You seem to be very passionate about them, which is great. This is the real world passion that seems to be lacking in their marketing initiatives. Unfortunately many in the marketplace do not share that passion nor your worldview – which is what my post was about.

The perception exists that Microsoft lacks a focus on the wants and needs of the user. You don’t have to go far to find someone who believes this – true or not. Thus your comment actually supports my point. You tell me that they have all these resources, yet the uncaring, negative perception remains. Thus instead of hiring a celebrity, I hold that they should focus on delivering a unique and incredible user experience.

We strive to help all of our customers use technology to solve “real world” business problems – those who choose to use Microsoft products and those who choose to use others.

Your well meaning and cute post exhibits a lack of understanding of the real world, one I have seen in other posts on this site including those that state there is no difference between Oracle and MS SQL (until you look at the price tag).

i guess if you are a Microsoft customer (and aren’t we all?) I’d stay away from Lucrum.

If anyone needs help with the real world there are plenty of people out there who can help you
