| supercat said: MS for a long time has had the fortune of being a monopoly with its OS and office software, but now is being threatened in several different products areas now. It's phone OS is losing marketshare to Android hand over foot and so is the Iphone. Already, we have Android netbooks, as android is smaller/cheaper/ faster than the netbook version of windows. Soon, MS will be losing more marketshare with its phones and netbooks, not good. Also, it is losing marketshare with its biggest cash cow, MS Office to OpenOffice. OpenOffice is still fairly small in the US but it's gaining, most importantly b/c it is free and well made.
Also, its browser is losing marketshare, as the android OS is gaining so will Chrome (on netbooks for now anyway).
Sell your miscrosoft stock, it ain't going up! |
1. Did MS ever have a big phone market share? Over the years I've rarely seen them. Windows 7 phone will likely be their biggest phone ever regardless of the competition.
2. The average computer user wants Windows, not Android. They won't change anytime soon.
3. Most people aren't open to using OpenOffice for whatever reasons. Many use Office at school and work so they want Office at home. I've even heard people say it fucks up the layout in their Office documents. Eitherway, OpenOffice has been around for years and Office is still earning insane amounts of money.
