10 things Microsoft did wrong in 2009

Betanews writes: "Earlier today, I posted "10 things Microsoft did right in 2009." I originally planned to post the did-wrong list tomorrow. But in view of today's news about Microsoft's out-going chief financial officer, Chris Liddell, I changed the timetable. Liddell's departure is one of the things Microsoft did wrong in 2009 (He will become CFO at GM)."

exclusives? You DO know this article has nothing to do with gaming don't you? Oh but wait, you're one of them who likes to comment before reading huh?

we won5992d ago (Edited 5992d ago )

Yep, the company already knows how to get people to *buy* their exclusives.

Sunny_D5992d ago (Edited 5992d ago )

Then why is this non gaming article on a GAMING website?

@ we won/Why dis: Except Forza 3 and practically every other exclusive except Halo and Gears. :)

Blaze9295992d ago

Do yourself a favor and look up...ya know, at the banners that say Tech and Industry...

SilentNegotiator5992d ago

Who cares? This is still a Gamer-centric website, so it's not that big of a deal if they discuss the gaming aspects not mentioned.

And we all know you just want to avoid the subject.

Blaze9295992d ago

avoid the subject? Maybe if this WAS the subject I wouldn't care.

El_Colombiano5992d ago

Microsoft and their MANY mess ups is the topic of this article. And they failed to provide a suffice amount of exclusives. OP is in the right mind frame.

Simon_Brezhnev5992d ago

RamiHixxy5992d ago (Edited 5992d ago )

I disagree with you, they had alot of, Not enough exclusives

RockmanII75992d ago

- Edit -

your old post

RamiHixxy5992d ago

yea i no its not in the article, but that was 1 of M$ problem in 2009

CryWolf5992d ago

What Microsoft did wrong in 2009 is not making Windows 7 64-bit only, why can't you chance the taskbar back to Window XP or Vista taskbar on Windows 7 and what happen to Quick Launch Toolbar in windows 7 without using any instructions from online.

ThanatosDMC5992d ago

I agree. Some people dont even understand the difference between 32bit and 64bit with the ram usage and paying for 6gb worth of ram and not being able to use it properly.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing20d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit20d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing20d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
