Business Week on MSFT fall
Business Week analyzes why Microsoft stock got punished lately by the investors after the Q2 results came in. “Because the market sees something different from the upbeat picture CEO Steve Ballmer painted on the day of the dividend announcement. It recognizes that Microsoft faces increasing competition in both PC operating systems and in desktop applications, the software giant’s key product areas. And it’s watching Microsoft’s difficulties repeating in new global markets the dominance it has gained in America”, Business Week says. Their solution? The company should develop a range of its popular desktop products for Linux operating system, starting with Office port for Linux.
