Microsoft prefers Playstation HOME

Playstation HOME - the new platform for business/company communication? - lol. The companies Ernst & Young, Merrill Lynch and Microsoft think so. To reduce cost of travel and communications they will use HOME instead of past expensive methods. But why HOME? Microsofts XBOX Live features online meetings aswell. This may bring up some thoughts like "who got paid by whom?".

Managing director of Advanced Workplace Associates, Andrew Mawson, said: "Increasingly we are living in a world without borders where workers need to collaborate on a global scale."

"Audio and video-conferencing solutions have emerged but the use of virtual worlds may offer the next evolution in overcoming the tyranny of distance - a more realistic and learning-enhanced environment."


If managers in important meetings have the possibility to act like a nursery chield they won't concentrate as much as in a "normal" meeting. HOME is called a service but actually more used for having funny conversations like in a game. So who the hell had this crazy idea?
