Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Blunders Again with Mobile Office

Page 2 of 2

Microsoft, however, still has the upper hand in financials. Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) has experienced a decrease in revenue of about 6% since 2009. Furthermore, last year the company lost about $83 billion. This could be due to increased competition in the television segment, which is continually challenged by companies like Samsung and LG.

When it’s all said and done

The bad press has added up quickly for Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), and while the company looks to be trudging forward, the little things aren’t adding up. Competitors such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) are consistently attempting to make its products more user-friendly, but Microsoft doesn’t even seem to be trying. The company can’t continue to relaunch products like Windows 8. Instead, Microsoft needs to more effectively leverage its focus groups. That way, the firm can avoid extra costs and bad press.
