"In larger organizations (including China's government), the risk of trying a new "innovation" becomes too great...M$ is at this stage, and it ends up buying the small companies that HAVE the innovation, and then incorporating it into their main product."
And it totally justifies Microsoft's strategy. When you're 35, you cut your own grass and shovel your own snow. When you're 60, you let someone else do the work (and take the inherent risks), because you can afford to pay them. I can't see the point in bashing Microsoft for not creating the new technologies in-house. Their products still hit the market featuring the latest and greatest, they've just found a more cost-effective way to accomplish it. - Posted by: Real World Posted on: 04/22/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
