Yahoo, Microsoft: The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall

the author seems to imply that MSFT is going to lose money in core competencies of desktop and server softwares.

can that happen by 2010?? are people really switching to Macs pc en-masse(personal computers can be replaced upto 50% if mac became cheap but business computers cannot be replaced for a long time, too hard to develop software for them, except for browser enabled ones)

i am not sure i know where companies are switching to online apps offered by google??

from what i know, MSFT has failed to create anything outside their windows dominance......and thats it. but the author is implying that they are like a dying business....

when it comes to yahoo its true that their core business of online is being taken over by google and others.....and they are on the verge of shrinking......(earnin... are already falling since many quarters).

its a false premise to compare yahoo and msft as same when it comes to business.

msft is struggling to grow in other areas......but yahoo is losing its bread and butter.

BTW it appears MSFT has decided not to pay $33/share for yahoo because of its shareholders protest.....who think yahoo is not worth more than $25/shares. market thinks its worth only $21.

yes MSFT has no idea how to grow anywhere else.........so what, what about google....apart from their search business have the done anything to make money??

its easy to critic....why not throw some idea if anyone has one.....MSFT is willing to spend 10 billion if anyone has an idea to compete with google's to attract their addicted users.
