Why I Won’t Buy Microsoft Corporation (MSFT)

A Window with a view
The deeper Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) can unify the smartphone, tablet, and PC experience, the greater the likelihood it can sell the value of choosing Windows to consumers. Microsoft could theoretically embrace Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)’s processors across the computing gamut, ultimately creating a “one Windows” solution. This approach would likely invite more interest from consumers since it would give them access to the world’s largest ecosystem, no matter their device. Until then, I don’t believe Microsoft’s stock currently possesses enough positive characteristics to make its way into my portfolio.

It’s been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who’ve watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade. However, with the release of its own tablet, along with the widely anticipated Windows 8 operating system, the company is looking to make a splash in this booming market. In this brand-new premium report on Microsoft, our analyst explains that while the opportunity is huge, the challenges are many.
