"'big company' ills" 07/07/2004 01:17 AM
Microsoft Corp. needs to avoid the "'big company' ills" if it wants to beat competitors and boost its long-stagnant stock price, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer told employees in an annual memo Tuesday. In the memo, which traditionally lays out the company's goals for its fiscal year that began July 1, Ballmer wrote that avoiding the pitfalls of corporate size involves more than just building new, innovative products. The software titan also must make sure it isn't losing touch with - or the faith of - its current customers.

After several false starts, Microsoft has launched an all-out assault on the mobile phone business. The prize: a chunk of the emerging market for PC-like "smart" phones, which could be one of the technology sector's next big things. But rather than embrace Windows, as PC makers did, handset makers have tried to lock out Microsoft.

Microsoft a "We" Company?

Microsoft a "We" Company? 03/22/2005 04:26 PM

Robert Scoble wants Microsoft to be perceived as a "we" company. I've taken a few jabs at Microsoft here in the past, but you know what? I'll give them credit for already making big steps towards becoming "we" instead of "us." The most obvious example is how Microsoft has embraced blogging in a much larger - and much more honest - way than many other companies. The mere fact that Scoble's blog exists shows that they're taking "we" seriously, and they deserve some recognition for this despite their past indiscretions.

Scoble also suggests that Microsoft needs to get along better with others, and he's put his finger on Microsoft's biggest problem right now: lack of trust. Let's face it, even Microsoft's friends don't trust the company due to past behavior, and that's a hard thing to overcome.

Funny enough, this is another lessen that Google may find itself forced to learn. As the auto-link controversy showed, there are a lot of people who are starting to mistrust Google, and Google will find it extremely difficult to keep expanding without the trust of its users. So far I've given Google the benefit of the doubt and have continued to believe that they really are working to make the world a better place by enabling access to information. But it will take a single big misstep for me to change my mind.

Microsoft has begun seeking beta testers for its OneCare Live service, which is the company's subscription antivirus and anti-spyware service. In a announcement Microsoft made, they plan to start testing this summer. "This new service will be entering its beta testing phase in a few weeks," the company said on its OneCare Web site.

OneCare Live is set to combine the anti-spyware software that Microsoft has already been publicly testing along with antivirus and firewall software. Microsoft has not announced pricing for OneCare Live.
