Two clues Microsoft is losing its way
,----[ Quote ]
| Two new Microsoft directives suggest that the writing is on the wall for the
| once-great company. And this isn't even to mention Microsoft's tactics to
| squash Linux's growth in the Netbook market.
|
| First, Microsoft has kicked off a "Get the Facts" browser campaign that is
| long on hyperbole and short on facts. Reading Microsoft's browser comparison
| chart, one would think that using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome is a fast
| track to leprosy: IE apparently dominates in security, privacy, ease of use,
| healing the sick, and causing the lame to walk.

| 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.
