Great Little Post by the Big Yahu.

Another big bend over by NSW. Time to end this short termism.

Microsoft’s Great Windows 7 Growth Lie — RoughlyDrafted Magazine

In reality, Microsoft’s Q3 2010 profits from Windows were up 35% over its Q3 2009 figures only because Q3 2009 had plunged to $2,273 million, making this year’s Q3 income of $3,061 million seem like growth when in reality, it was still lower than Microsoft had reported in Q3 2008 (when the company earned $3.1 billion) and significantly down from 2007 (when it earned $4.2 billion).

Those figures don't lie. Microsoft earned around 15% less in it's first quarter after the Windows 7 launch than it did in the first Quarter after the Vista launch.

Social Innovation Bar Camp #sibsyd

This morning I listened to Bob Carr open this event and was stimulated into revisiting this site which I have left fallow for some time.

I did a talk on what I've learned by this exercise. And will later write a new post which discusses the talk, what I learned from giving it and also why I've added to my understanding from some of the other sessions today

Meanwhile, estimates are I am already exceeding my target 10% reduction for Electricity and Water, despite the winter still not being open.

I'll update with the tangibles later
