Microsoft's Current Situation: Like IBM in the '80s | |
|
||
| Time: 00:47 EST/05:47 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

A flurry of stories about Microsoft recently got me thinking today about computer history. First was the story yesterday in the Wall Street Journal about whether it's Time to Dump Your Desktop? Another was the recent revelation that Microsoft is developing its own Zune music player and is creating yet another music store to compete with iTunes. Another was about how Google's new spreadsheet service could ultimately dent Microsoft's Office business. And then there was this compendium of articles about Bill Gates stepping down and another marketing executive leaving. These stories seemed to be saying something, but no one told the whole story. And then it hit me. Microsoft is about to lose the software business the same way that IBM lost the PC business in the 1980s. | ||
