No Speech Server book.....yet
Well Sara and I found out today that MS Press won't publish our book.
I think that the bottom line is just that they feel the audience is too small and they won't sell enough copies to make it worthwhile. MSS is still just a niche market in their eyes. How's that for not seeing the big picture?
I guess with Vista and Office coming out about the first of the year that they will have their hands full with books on those systems and MSS 2007 will get lost in the hype.
I think they screwed up big time with this decision but we will not let that discourage us. We are pressing on and will present the book proposal to other publishers.
So, if you think this is a bummer like we do then you can do the following:
- Write your Congressman
- Write Microsoft Press and complain
- Don't buy any Vista books
- Just do nothing and say "So what. You cares anyway?"
We will push on and I'll keep you informed as to our progress.
If you wish to comment on this tragedy by offering comments, condolences or even rejoice then as usual I would love to hear from you.
