Recession does no favours for Windows 8




Microsoft is heaping piles of money pushing Windows 8 but it is not the only company hoping to convince the world its operating system will open up opportunities and refresh the laggard PC market. Faced with general disinterest from the consumer, vendors are struggling to sell computers.

What all those captains of industry and their employees in politics forgot is the method of permanent growth is vital to an economy. Instead, the west is getting austerity. With no spare change in its pocket, PCs are the last thing on the collective hivemind.

Sure, visiting the right corners of the internet reveals enthusiasm for discussing the latest gadgetry, but this does not necessarily mean sales and this, too, is only a snapshot of a certain sector of society. Just as the technology press must report and review new releases, this doesn't translate to effective advertising except for people with money to spend.

The vendors do not seem to understand that their method of drip feeding technology is beginning to dry up. It's a widely held belief, if you talk to the right executives, that what is necessary is something exciting, something innovative to generate consumer interest. They are falling over themselves to come up with the next interesting hybrid or, in Intel's case, leaning on a gargantuan marketing kitty to push the 'new' Ultrabook. Of course, people aren't stupid. And they can recognise Ultrabooks look a lot like Macbook Airs with a price tag that is close to matching. Slick advertising and sponsorship deals do not seem to be helping the company's lofty goal of a majority Ultrabook share in PCs over the years for the moment.

It was hoped Windows 8 would shake up consumer spending. Since its launch, Steve Ballmer claimed at the Build conference that Microsoft has managed to sell 4 million copies of the operating system. He also mentioned analyst figures about selling 400 million PCs next year, most of which will be Windows 8. The numbers are impressive, but Ballmer neglected to mention Microsoft is offering upgrades at a very cheap rate, and Windows 8 will eventually be installed de facto, so the consumer choice won't be a factor in flooding the market: users will like it or lump it.

Because Windows 8 has been designed to run on the myriad of Windows 7 computers currently active in the market, the company will get a fair few upgrades this way too. This does not mean enthusiasm for the product. Eventually the benefits of upgrading to Windows 8 will outweigh  the cons, that is, when apps and software is designed exclusively for the OS the consumer again will feel it has little choice to upgrade.

Redmond's method of bribing users by offering a heavily discounted upgrade is much like the company's approach to developers. Microsoft is so keen on building its ecosystem - lessons learned from Windows Phone 7? - that it is giving attendees at the Build conference a free Surface RT, a Nokia Lumia 920 mobile phone, and 100 gigabytes of Skydrive. It faces enormous competition and, building a new ecosystem practically from the ground up, will be difficult against already established players.

The main question of the day for the vendors should be: don't they know there's a recession on? It is true that the rich are doing better than ever, but the wealthy buy Apple. Software and hardware companies would do well to either focus their attention on other continents or make a concerted effort to drastically reduce retail prices.
The traditional spending power western companies are used to in their native territories is shifting, and no amount of operating systems, apps, tablets, smartphones, hybrids or computers will put money back in the pocket of the consumer.

Dr Vijay Mallya, Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. Woes Show Need for Bankruptcy Law





Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. (KAIR), controlled by liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya, is struggling to resume services after five straight years of losses and mounting debt forced it to ground planes. India’s bankruptcy laws aren’t helping.

The carrier can’t emulate U.S. airlines that have gone through court-led Chapter 11 restructuring, as India doesn’t have any similar procedures for service providers. Under the existing law, a government body only oversees rehabilitation of companies with licenses to run factories.

Kingfisher’s troubles highlight how India’s corporate laws have failed to keep pace with growth and emergence of new businesses in Asia’s third-biggest economy. Lack of a modern legal framework makes it slower for struggling companies to renegotiate debts and cut cost, said Jai Pathak, partner-in- charge at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. in Singapore.

“India needs a comprehensive bankruptcy law that will allow financially distressed companies to revive faster,” Pathak said. The existing system doesn’t “provide a framework by which companies can take preventive measures to avoid a further downward spiral.”

Current rules allow companies that operated for at least five years and holding a factory license to approach the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction if accumulated losses equal or exceed their net worth. The recourse is available under the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act of 1985.

‘Outdated Tool’
Under the Indian Companies Act of 1956, firms can voluntarily wind up operations or a court can order their closure. In a court-ordered shutdown, an official liquidator will be appointed to oversee the process and distribute the proceeds from sale of assets to creditors.

“BIFR is the most outdated tool available under law in India,” Kishor Ostwal, managing director at CNI Research Ltd. in Mumbai, said. “There are examples where companies have applied for rehabilitation and it has taken several years for even the plan to be approved. It’s next to impossible.”

BIFR took almost four years to approve a rehabilitation plan for Windsor Machines Ltd. (WML), which was declared a ‘sick’ company in June 2006. By the time the revival plan got approval from the agency in April 2010, the company had made quarterly profits.

World Ranking
India ranked 116 among 185 economies when it comes to ease of resolving insolvency, according to Doing Business 2013 data published by International Finance Corp. and the World Bank. The nation’s ranking fell from 109 in 2012. India scored 132 for the overall ‘ease of doing business’ in the latest report published last month.

In 2001, as an alternative to the BIFR process, India’s central bank allowed companies and their creditors to enter into a debt recast arrangement to help businesses return to financial health. The mechanism was limited to firms that had borrowed more than 200 million rupees ($3.7 million) from a group of lenders.

Kingfisher in 2010 restructured 77.2 billion rupees of debt it had run up by ordering aircraft and buying a budget carrier. It can seek a second round of debt recast if a majority of its lenders agree, said Avinash Gupta, head of financial advisory services at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Pvt. The carrier has been seeking more loans and investments at least for a year after losses widened and debt swelled to 86 billion rupees.

Shares of the airline have slumped 40 percent this year to 12.6 rupees, compared with a 20 percent gain in the benchmark Sensitive Index. (SENSEX)


Lengthy Process
Debt restructuring may offer little help for distressed companies because of the lengthy procedures, said Thomas Britt, a Hong Kong-based partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.

“Negotiations with creditor banks take place in a time- consuming Reserve Bank of India-supervised process and only after the company has reached a state of severe financial crisis, if not a complete collapse,” Britt wrote in an e-mail. That makes “the prospects remote for that company’s return to financial health and viability.”


India’s Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said he will push for an overhaul of the bankruptcy laws to help companies like Kingfisher restructure operations. He didn’t say what changes he is seeking in the rules.

“It’s not just the owner who suffers, it’s also the employees, the creditors and the consumers,” Singh said in an interview in New Delhi on Oct. 27. “Reform of the companies law will not only offer protection from creditors, but also from labor unions and other agencies.”

Amazon faces competition as cloud technology goes mainstream



Cloud computing is moving away from being monolithic, where Amazon Web Services (AWS) was the only major cloud service provider, to a marketplace technology, with several cloud-based service providers, as users’ appetite for cloud grows, according to analyst firm 451 Research.

“It has taken a few years, but 2012 is the year we have seen some big difference, most of it driven by Openstack providers such as Rackspace,” said Simon Robinson, research vice-president of 451 Research, at the SNW Europe 2012 conference in Frankfurt.


Such a competitive market is good for enterprise users, who will see the cost of cloud services go down, he said.

“In addition to pricing benefits, having more players will bring more cloud federation, standardisation and interoperability,” said Robinson.

Technology companies and cloud critics have long argued that cloud must be more federated, automated and interoperable for users to see real benefits.

Increasing competition among cloud service providers
But Robinson warned that cloud computing service providers must not discount AWS. “It continues to innovate, and even today around 85% of public cloud-based workloads run on Amazon,” he said.

The rest of the 15% is shared between Microsoft Windows Azure in second place, followed by Openstack-based cloud services and other providers, he said.



“As an analogy, Amazon is the Coke of the cloud industry. We don’t have a Pepsi yet, but there are several brands of cola available in the market,” said Robinson.

But an increasing number of enterprises are using Microsoft, Google, EMC, Verizon and Rackspace cloud services.

Cloud adoption gathering speed
According to Robinson, several factors have contributed to cloud becoming a marketplace technology. Tighter IT budgets and the need to innovate and compete has seen enterprises consider private and hybrid clouds, as well as look at open source providers, he said.

“Cloud has become the new normal. Our research has showed an evolution among enterprises’ attitude to cloud computing,” said Robinson.

According to the analyst firm, there is a clear rise in the number of enterprises using some form of cloud computing services.

More and more enterprises are considering whether the applications they are planning to buy now can be deployed in the cloud before purchasing them, said Robinson. They are also telling suppliers to bring out products on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model so they can save on capital expenditure.

“The cloud model they are exploring is not just the Amazon-centric model of web apps. They are willing to go down the route of hybrid and private cloud, making room for more service providers,” he added.

BJP President Shri Nitin Ji Gadkari busy consulting legal experts, calls off meeting with Karnataka leaders


BJP President Shri Nitin Ji Gadkari busy consulting legal experts, calls off meeting with Karnataka leaders


After his decision to skip election rallies in Himachal Pradesh, cornered BJP chief Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday cancelled his meeting with state leaders of poll-bound Karnataka where former CM B S Yeddyurappa is threatening to lead a breakaway BJP faction into the elections. Gadkari instead announced that he had asked leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley and party general secretary Dharmendra Pradhan to meet the state leaders and review the political situation there.

In a statement, the party said Gadkari was busy in consultation with legal experts in Mumbai and Nagpur. The party chief has threatened to take legal action against media groups for reporting about alleged money laundering by his companies.

BJP President Shri Nitin Ji Gadkari busy consulting legal experts, calls off meeting with Karnataka leaders



Gadkari had called Karnataka chief minister Jagadish Shettar and BJP state unit chief K S Eshwarappa to Delhi to discuss and review the political situation in the state.

Despite several overtures to Yeddyurappa, the former Karnataka CM is adamant on forming his own political party on December 10. He had earlier refused to meet Jaitley when the senior BJP leader visited Bangalore to pacify him. Yeddyurappa has openly stated that he has lost faith in the central leadership.

Shortly after Gadkari faced charges of dubious funding of his company, Yeddyurappa had told reporters that the BJP chief should introspect. Gadkari had asked Yeddyurappa to step down from the chief minister's post when he was indicted by the Karnatak  a Lokayukta in a graft case.


BJP President Shri Nitin Ji Gadkari seems to be most corrupt President BJP had so far.

Nitinji half the job is done through ROC's website. Long live the ROCs of India. Corporates have no life without ROCs. This may be compard with Ram Rajya.

RAM JETMALANI would kick gadkari like a football out of his home until gadkari comes with 50% stake in this business as fees.
