This had to be one of the dumbest business blunders of all time. Not only do they sulk away from potentially the biggest market in the history of the world but they tell everyone to download Msft software presumably because it is better than theirs!
And dont forget, they are also advertising that they cant protect your personal information in gmail or I guess anywhere else in Google.
Omg, whats next? Dont they need the growth? They arent cheap and the only reason to pay the high price was future growth and that was going to come from the far east wasnt it?
Maybe its time for Schmidt to leave for personal reasons.
