Clearly, Microsoft has determined that Windows is its strongest brand (well, apart from, um, Microsoft), and now it's decided to inflict it everywhere it can. First, MSN was quietly bumped from its popular Instant Messaging client. Then, just this week, MSN was stripped from its blog site, Spaces. Now we've learned that Ziff Davis has killed Computer Gaming World and will replace it with a officially sanctioned magazine called Games For Windows (Microsoft's brand category for PC games). Where will it end? If I take a digital picture of my family and upload it to my XP machine, does Microsoft take ownership of their souls? Can I license them back on weekends? Just writing this blog entry in Windows Notepad is no doubt a risky-- Um, no one. Sorry Bill. Please, no, there's no need to invoke Steve. I didn't mean, don't, no really, oh my-- no, no, nooooooooooo...
