Because it wants to do everything that every major online company does.
Well this peice of article on Fortune just couldn’t stop me blogging about.
Microsoft , the owner of the immensely popular windows programme has been profitable enough but it just cant carve a niche out for itself on the online businesses. It does evruything it can, buys out businesses, tries to be innovative (though after seeing someone), it just cant be a Google or even Facebook. It bought if a piece of Facebook for $240 million.
Whatever it does we certainly cant see a Youtube, Facebook, Myspace or anything “really” big under the “M” umbrella.
MSN has been loosing out marketshare and Hotmail has been loosing its shine. But still Microsoft seems to be strong and as CEO Ballmer puts it “Our PC muscles are very well developed, and our server and enterprise muscles are very well developed,” he told a group of financial analysts. “Our Internet muscles aren’t yet as well developed. But we want to go after it with the same energy.”
