What's with Microsoft continuing to push failed products?

If Windows 8 had that start menu the sales would go through the ROOF. But let the M$FT loyalists tell it and it's the peoples fault they're not copping it.

Stop trying to tell consumers what they want and instead, GIVE the consumer what they want.

This is what Apple does. And what's worse? Apple packages it in a way that makes their devices and products exude a kind of "better than you" type aura. That's Marketing 101. Give the customer something of perceived value and not only will they cop it but they'll defend it to the death.

That's what M$FT needs, some fresh blood, too many old cats in that company stuck in their ways and too many wannabe visionaries that have no clue what the consumer wants.

They're marketing their Windows 8 phones wrong. Those should be huge sellers with people who aren't tech savvy because they're very easy to use. They don't highlight that though.

MS problem is that it's no longer the innovative company it once was in the 90's. All its moves are now reactionary. Its always the last to be invited/arrive to the party and by the time is gets there, all the liquor and weed is done and everyone is already blazed/faded. Apple/Google/Samsung are the new kids in town and there's no stopping that train. Ballmer as CEO, also didn't do them any favors.
that sums it up beautifully because all these failed products aren't ones in categories they created but are instead me too type products. they see someone have success in something and wanna copy that. even the Xbox is basically an attempt to copy and dethrone Sony. Windows was taken from Apple. honestly what have they actually innovated on? plug and play / USB?

they just keep highlighting the fukking camera features :dead:
Exactly; it's fukking idiotic. If people want a camera with 42 megapixels or whatever, they'll drop the money on a top notch camera, not a damn phone.

Diamond Rio?

it was one of the first portable mp3 players. and being the first, they were the ones that had to deal with getting sued by the RIAA. they won though, and then the doors were open for everyone to start making portable mp3 players

it was a Windows compatible device btw
