How Can Microsoft Stay Competitive?

Yes, Microsoft needs to improve several aspects of its business. However, to say that Microsoft is always a step behind the competition would be wrong in my opinion. Yesterday's deal with Facebook was a very direct and aggressive move towards Google. Microsoft needs to make more deals like this to succeed. Hats off to their Directors for finally taking some strong initiative in their conflict with Google www.newsvisual.com/new...

Google vs. Microsoft: Call It A Draw

Neither of these companies get to have my sympathy. Microsoft is calling "foul" on Google (they even tried to pressure Time Warner and AT&T to oppose the DoubleClick deal www.newsvisual.com/new... ), well plenty of companies called "foul" on Microsoft in the past, and Microsoft behaved just like Google is behaving today, not caring. This is the real crux of this argument. If it were the other way around, Google would be crying "foul" on Microsoft as well. The author is right in that both companies are their own worse enemies, couldn't agree more. That is the best way to sum this up. One is losing a monopoly, the other is becoming one, and both want to be one.
