Ballmer says offline media is dead, keeps mum on Microsoft's offline software
,----[ Quote ]
| However painful it might be, Microsoft, like the print media that Ballmer
| eulogizes, must change. Microsoft must get online, and much faster than is
| comfortable. Otherwise it stands to lose to Google which has no built-in
| dependency on on-premise deployments.

A Day to Remember: 23 April, 2009

| And there's another reason why yesterday was significant: Microsoft announced
| what are probably its worst quarter results ever:
|
| Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $13.65 billion for the third
| quarter ended March 31, 2009, a 6% decline from the same period of the prior
| year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the
| quarter were $4.44 billion, $2.98 billion and $0.33 per share, which
| represented an increase of 3% and declines of 32% and 30%, respectively, when
| compared with the prior year period.
|
| Now, the global financial crisis certainly contributed to those figures, but
| I think there's a bigger underlying trend here, which is that the Microsoft
| money machine is faltering.
