Will Microsoft Crumble In The New Era Of Tech Threats?
,----[ Quote ]
| These are good points, but it's also worth
| asking whether Microsoft really needs "dramatic
| changes in direction" to remain viable.

Memo to Microsoft: Get a new brand for mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has a new job:
| overseeing the company's entertainment and
| mobile businesses in the wake of high-profile
| executive departures. It's not the first time
| Ballmer has taken the reins of struggling
| business units, having managed the Windows and
| Internet search businesses directly at
| different times, but arguably Microsoft doesn't
| need new management.

Microsoft Has Become The Follower & Will Lead No More
,----[ Quote ]
| It sounds so wrong. Microsoft, one of the two
| remaining companies that helped bring the
| idea of personal computing into the
| mainstream is saying that the future it is
| betting on is in the âcloudâ. How strange is
| that? That is somewhat like a black person
| from the 1870s stating that he was betting on
| the institution of slavery.
|
| [...]
|
| Now, in a story from PC Magazine, we have a
| message that Steve Ballmer has stated the
| company is betting its future on cloud
| computing. What a turnaround.
|
| The trouble is, I donât think Mr. Ballmer is
| doing anything but hedging bets, and being
| disingenuous in the process, because he knows
| (or should, anyway) that once cloud computing
| comes, Microsoft becomes irrelevant and
| unnecessary.
|
| [...]
|
| The problem in the end is that Microsoft is
| not, and never really wanted to be, like IBM.
| If any change in the pecking order comes as a
| result of âthe cloudâ catching on, it will be
| IBM, Oracle, and others that know what
| distributed computing, and client-server
| computing are all about on the grand scale.
| That doesnât say Microsoft; that says the
| companies that make and use the big iron.
