Microsoft's business model is failing, and rather than wasting precious time figuring out what new things it can do, it needs to quickly copy other successful businesses, and preferably kill them off (as usual) by leveraging its monopoly.
Let's try to keep things in a realistic perspective here. Microsoft's business model is far from failing. They're still making a King's ransom on their traditional desktop software model and will continue to do so for years.
There is however increased competition and more innovation from Google and others, and MS will continue to follow the newly emerging markets in the best way they know how. And yes, that's often in an unfair way. At least this time around they'll have a harder time muscling in because 1) they can't undercut their competitors with lower cost, 2) they're experiencing a brain-drain (some of it directly to Google), 3) and Google is easily their toughest and most nimble competitor since the days of Netscape
It's me, Tyler. Just making sure you didn't pop a vein or anything getting pissed off at him. He didn't mean to slam on us, so don't make us look like fools by retaliating. Have fun the rest of break, see you in class.
