10 Urgent Tasks For Microsoft In 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| So things are rosy in Redmond, right?
|
| Wrong. The solid numbers belie serious cracks that are emerging in
| Microsoft's core franchises. Windows sales and market share, though robust,
| are in decline. The company's efforts to expand into new markets are
| floundering, and key executives are jumping ship. With that in mind, here's a
| list of ten urgent tasks that Steve Ballmer and company must undertake in
| 2009, lest those cracks become craters.

Microsoft getting ready to lay off 17% of staff
,----[ Quote ]
| The rumor that Microsoft was set to lay off people on
| January 15th, 2009 is no longer a rumor but a fact. Staff
| at Microsoft have been informed that the company is
| readying major layoffs to its worldwide operations and it's
| not a small cut, either.
|
| Currently Microsoft employs about 90,000 people across the
| world and from what we're hearing, some 15,000 of those are
| expected to be giving marching orders come January 15th.
| That's almost 17 percent of Microsoft's total work force,
| not exactly a small number.
