For some of you, you might have noticed that I have made the default page the front page.  Many of the posts that I think is important I put in the appropriate cateogry, plus put into the front page.  However, there are some musings ( in the linkblog category are news/ or other blogs that I read that I feel is relevant to my theme here)  that i like that I only put into the appropriate category. 

I have put the Latest Posts into the the lower right corner, so this is the place to check out my posts ( some posts do not make it to the front page) irregardless of category.

Both can be viable go-to market strategies.

Ballmer translates ’software and service’ | InfoWorld | By Nancy Gohring, IDG News Service

To Microsoft, software and service means a balanced model that involves a smart client device, which could be a PC, mobile phone, or TV, combined with “smart computers doing work on your behalf in the center of the Net,” Ballmer said. “So we’re trying to carve out a balance.” Technical decisions determine which components run where, Ballmer said.

By contrast, software as a service often refers to Internet-based applications that are accessed by end-users through their browsers, without requiring specialized software on the user device. The difference between “software as a service” and “software and service” is important for a company such as Microsoft, which earns billions of dollars in revenue every year by selling PC software.
