Is Microsoft A Slowpoke? | |

Like a kid with a $100 bill in a penny-candy store, Microsoft has been trying too many things at once, critics have long charged. To keep the company focused, Ballmer sliced it into seven supposedly equal and semiautonomous product groups, each with its own CFO. Two of those groups — Windows and Office — account for 62% of revenue and the lion's share of profits. The others deal with mobile devices, business services, entertainment, the Internet (MSN) and server software. Those last two are marginally profitable; the others are optimistic bets on the future. Says Jupiter Research analyst Joe Wilcox: "It's like dealing with two giants and five pygmies." Kevin Johnson, Microsoft's vice president of worldwide sales, who is regarded by many as heir apparent to Ballmer, defends the reorganization: "The value we deliver comes from collaboration between the groups." | ||
