> Around three-quarters of Microsoft’s profits come from the two fabulously successful products on which the company was built: the Windows operating system, which essentially makes personal computers run, and Office, the suite of applications that includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. All of which are on quite shaky grounds with competition eating at them. MS know they can't keep these cash cows forever. On the other hand, parasitic income that MS gets is just crazy huge: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/10/lawsuit-reveals-s... And this attitude doesn't seem to change, despite some cosmetic shifts like more usage of open source. Such kind of companies better fall into irrelevance sooner than later. We need real innovators, not humongous parasites. |
