According to Robert Scoble Microsoft is just not delivering the cool new Web 2.0 applications or acquiring them! Below is one his statements in his Blog post
Name a single Microsoft Internet product/service that made you say “wow” in the past three years. I can’t name one and I’ve been looking.
One thing I would say about this is whether it is Microsoft Strategy to deliver the next innovative Web 2.0 application or whether it is an enabler to other people? One thing is probably true is that these new products will be built using the new ‘cool’ Microsoft technologies. The Blog post is worth a read as well as the comments as it gives an interesting view from someone who knew Microsoft pretty well and was respected for what he did there.

I’m disappointed with Scoble. When he worked at Microsoft, everything MS was really cool. Now it is oh-so-mediochre. I’ll never be able to read his blog now without wondering who is pulling his strings.

I didn’t follow his Blog when he was at Microsoft but from what I’ve read of him, he was known to criticise Microsoft when he was employed by them which was why people came to respect his view. If you read his comments then he likes Vista and Virtual Earth. I just don’t think Microsoft are in the game that I think he wants Microsoft to be in.
