What made Open Labs fail?
Was Open Labs a victim of the harsh economic climate or is there a more fundamental reason for the company?s failure?
One has to wonder if the company?s strategy of selling premium hardware, based on
Windows, was the problem.
Apple has been batting 1,000 for several years now, dominates the premium laptop market and already had much of the mindshare of the music industry.
At the same time, Windows PC manufacturers have been fighting for supremacy at the low end of the market, bringing Windows laptops under $500. And the last version of Windows,
Windows Vista, was a public relations disaster for Microsoft, being called ?the biggest tech disappointment of 2007″ by
PC World.
In hard times, are Windows musicians, used to cheap gear, going to buy a $7,000 NeKo?
I?d be interested in your thoughts. What do you think caused Open Labs failure?
