CobWEBs Daily Edition podcast: Come on Microsoft, quit being such a wuss

Posted on October 30, 2009 by Steven Hodson

cbn1-podpost In a little bit of a departure from our normal cynicism over daily events in the tech world Sean and I delve into a conversation about something sure to make Apple fans laugh out loud and point fingers at us as delusional Microsoft fanboys (like they aren’t).

Anyway the thing that got us going tonight was the idea that Microsoft should seriously consider get into the computer building business especially now that they are opening retail stores. This is pure speculation folks and playing off a conversation that John Dvorak had on his recent Cranky Geeks show. It is all in good fun but as it turns out maybe something that Microsoft should consider.
