Robert Scoble isn't known for this business knowledge, but the Microsoft paid blogger (and one of the best know bloggers in the IT world) takes a shot at becoming a business guru with his Predictions for 2005.

Although Scoble represents the new, less aggressive Microsoft, he has his clear favourites in some of Microsoft's technology and has a certain dislike for anything Apple.

Among the sheer propaganda ("Microsoft will be more interesting at the end of 2005 than at the beginning. And, in a year that just saw the launch of Halo 2, that's saying something"), but he has some clear and insightful ideas about corporate blogging.

Um, don't know where you got that I have a dislike for anything Apple. If anything I'm jealous of Apple.

"If anything I'm jealous of Apple."
I must have misinterpreted nr 1 "Apple Computer will ship a computer that uses a pen and a digitizer that is combined with the screen. It won't, however, call this a "Tablet PC."" and 17 "Apple Computer will think that podcasting is a way to lock people into the iPod platform and will buy iPodder for, oh, say, $300 million. Oh, wait, I forgot, Steve Jobs isn't Steve Case." as highly cynical

Oh, and if prediction nr. 6 (Scoble will be taped to a tree on Microsoft's campus after he talked about blogs once too often.) comes true, will you please make sure to post pictures? ;-)
