Tech

Here we go again with another case of Microsoft technology envy. You know, where some one, or some company is jealous because "their" technology is bigger than ours. And so it goes with Soapbox, Microsoft's supposed answer to YouTube.

I mean, I sort of understand Microsofts reasoning. Why produce a few world class, pricey software packages and/or services, when we can produce a whole slew of average, pricey software packages and/or services. Microsoft marketing must be doing caffeine IV's just thinking about the possibilities.

Reviewers have mostly been under-whelmed. Soapbox brings a few nifty tech tricks to the table, but nothing earth shattering. So customers who currently use and peruse YouTube, will have no compelling reason to switch to Soapbox.

Once again, Microsoft's ego has gotten in the way. They just can't handle it when another tech company is successful. Instead of tipping the hat and giving kudos, they insist on trying to enter a market where they have no expertise, just because they can.
