從Google Local及Windows Live Local看香港被歧視
Microsoft和Google之間的鬥爭,相信不用再在此多費唇舌,今次我主要想談各國公司對香港的重視程度。在Google Local中,大家可以簡易地將全世界的衛星圖片合併在一起,令到看地圖就像在看一個大地球似的,而且它可以任意放大縮小,小弟的家也能清楚可見,甚至有人能看到非洲的大象奔馳的情境呢。然而Microsoft Live Local的網上地圖對於美國地區永遠都是資料詳盡,美輪美奐,但其他地區就往往厚此薄彼,就算是香港這個國際都會,都只能作非常局限的放大,地區資料準確度偏低。小弟一向都對各家公司忽視香港感到失望,雖然與美國、加拿大等國家相比之下,香港人口實在不算甚麼,但我一直以來都覺得香港常常不被重視,要知道香港人對於接受新事物的能力向來都很高,購買力也不算弱,可是那些軟件公司往往安排最好的服務、功能在本國,然後美其名各國法律不同,事實上根本就沒有打算將這些東西於國外銷售,例如iTunes Music Store便是一好例子。有時在網上看到一些軟件很合用,正想買的時候,香港卻沒有代理;哦,支援信用咭購物嘛,那麼你又叫我將信用咭簽帳發票fax到台灣,這不是叫我難做麼?我不會主張香港人一定要有自己的一套軟件或服務,因為這樣不符合成本效益。把好東西和大家分享,身為賣方的總不會有損失,買方也因此而得到良好的貨物,這不正正是一個雙嬴的局面嗎?小弟希望各國軟件商記得香港的用家們,將好產品都在香港推出,那我們可就樂透了。

記得這期稿件是在朋友的家中完成,那時候朋友正在玩遊戲戲…超大的誘惑。這是我所遇過的最惡劣寫作環境之一。 😛
緊記這些都是零六年時的文章啊,當時我的見解的確如此…
