Mehmet Ali Ertürk » Open Source http://mehmetalierturk.com Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not a threat Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:28:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Is Microsoft Still Evil? http://mehmetalierturk.com/2009/04/17/is-microsoft-still-evil/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-microsoft-still-evil http://mehmetalierturk.com/2009/04/17/is-microsoft-still-evil/#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:17:45 +0000 admin http://www.mehmetalierturk.com/?p=761 Continue reading →]]> Microsoft is known as being an evil company. Isn’t it? During the past few years Microsoft used to be dominant in the market with its products and services like; operation systems, office programs and development tools by following unethical methods. So, something happened and all went wrong for them.

In my opinion, change was technology itself nothing else. Linux, Web, Web 2.0, mobile devices, platform independent tools, Web 3.0 … etc. Microsoft has followed same strategies over the years and succeeded but it didn’t work for this time. Microsoft may be an evil or not but, now, they are not acting like an evil.

There has been significant changes at Microsoft’s product strategy, like; considering other browsers, cross platform products (silverlight), contributing to open source (asp.net MVC) …etc. They are not ignoring now, they are considering options different than Microsoft.

I’m not sure about Microsoft’s being evil or good but I’m sure one thing; they imitate not innovate. That’s why I’m not a Microsoft guy.

Etkinlik biraz geç başladı (30 dk.) ama beklentilerimin üzerindeydi diyebilirim. Kendisiyle bizzat tanışma ve sohbet etme imkanı bulduğum Reginald Hutcherson’ın Next Generation: Innovation & Developers gerçekten izlenilmeye değerdi. Bir çok konuda güzel sunumlar demolar yapıldı. Dikkatimi çeken bir nokta ise Sun Microsystems’dan genel konuşmacılar rahat hatta sportif Sun, Duke gibi logolu t-shirtlerle, ülkemizden katılanların ise tam takım ve formal bir şekilde giyinmeleriydi. Etkinlik çıkışı herkeze bir adet Duke hediye edildi. Panele katılan konuşmacılara yöneltilen bir soru hoşuma gitti:
Sun Developer Network’e Türkiye’den 16 000 kayıtlı geliştirici olduğu söylüyorsunuz, şirketimize çalışacak 3 tane aradık bulamadık. Nerde bu geliştiriciler?

Organizasyon Hilton’da yer aldı kullanıma açık ücretsiz internetin olmaması dışında diğer hizmetler güzeldi.
