Microsoft products suffer ‘scaling back’ blows from recent layoffs
,----[ Quote ]
| The company also confirmed that 'deep cuts' had been made at Massive, the
| in-game advertising unit that Microsoft has acquired. Moreover, as a part of
| its cost-cutting measures, Microsoft is also slashing its expenditure on
| travel, vendors, and contractors; as well as canceling its once-a-year
| picnic.
|
| Of the affected products that will reportedly be scaled back, Microsoft will
| continue to sell and support the first version of the small
| businesses-specific ResponsePoint, and the traffic and like services-specific
| MSN Direct. However, in the case of the .Net Micro Framework, the company
| intends making the project a community source effort, thereby eliminating
| royalties from the distribution of the product.
