As Om points out, there are some issues at Microsoft. It’s funny. I’m blogging this from Sea-Tac airport. Microsoft reminds me of IBM in the 80s. Lots of market share, tons of intellectual property and a very large workforce.
Microsoft needs to refocus and stop being a very good me too company. They need to innovate, and that’s something they really have not done across the board too well.
Skype and other upstarts like GOOGLE are winning because the dare to be different, while Microsoft just wants to be the same.
