Why Isn't Microsoft's Strategy Working Anymore?

The most important strategy for Microsoft to adopt would be to get rid of Steve Ballmer. He is unequivocally among the worst CEOs in American history.

Microsoft Copping to $10 Million Seinfeld Mistake?

Bill Gates looked like such an "old man" in the shoe ad. I couldn't figure out what was the point of the ad. I didn't learn anything new about Microsoft. It seems like another Microsoft waste of money. Microsoft should take its ad budget and use it to pay dividends to shareholders.

Meet Chrome - Google's Windows Killer

Google is buildling a better mousetrap. Once the beta tests are over I expect to be catching more mouses than that horrible often ignored product called Internet Explorer.

Four Ways To Improve Microsoft

To improve Microsoft, first, Ballmer must be fired. He represents many years of failure. Second, the operating system should be spun off as a separate company whose primary purpose is to integrate with and enhance other software applications regardless of manufacturer.

Once again Microsoft copies or steals from others rather than being the first to come up with an idea. So much for Microsoft innovation.

Yahoo to Microsoft: Increase Your Offer or Get Lost

Ballmer paying a lot of money for a company that is not making a lot of money. There is no logic in this. Microsoft shareholders would be better of with a dividend in the amount Ballmer will waste on Yahoo. Ballmer must go!

Where Microsoft and Yahoo! Can Beat Google

I believe your opinion is correct. However, the reason Microsoft wishes to purchase Yahoo is to compete in search. Microsoft already has a search function.

Microsoft/Yahoo Deal: It's Time to Get Serious, Steve

I fail to see why investors cannot get rid of Steve Ballmer. Microsoft is customarily the last to engage in innovation and it seems to have to copy or steal from other companies to catch up. If Microsoft was properly run, it would need to buy Yahoo.
