TGDaily: Microsoft is likely to top the list of the most improved companies for 2011. Indeed, 2009 ended a decade of disappointing personal technology products from Redmond - particularly Windows Vista - which left many of us wondering if MS could do anything right.
However, 2010 kicked off with Windows 7, IE9 (beta), Windows Phone 7 and Xbox Kinnect, along with some very positive financial results.
To be sure, for much of last decade Microsoft was considered the personification of Evil, and for much of last year, Google effortlessly took their place after seeming to promise when they started that they would avoid doing evil things.
Let’s talk a bit about how Microsoft and Google traded places last year, well more than traded places; Google passed Microsoft like a jet plane and not in a good way. We’ll focus on Microsoft’s improvements today.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
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.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I grew taller
"To be sure, for much of last decade Microsoft was considered the personification of Evil, and for much of last year, Google effortlessly took their place after seeming to promise when they started that they would avoid doing evil things."
So true, the reason most people don't have an Xbox is because they have this notion that Microsoft is this evil greedy company.
The reason I choose Microsoft is because they have a foot in everything, and it gives them the ability to link everything together. Windows, IE9, hotmail/live, MSN, Gaming (console/pc and hardcore/casual) and phone.

Steve Balmmer can't be anything else but evil, just look at the movie, it's scary :S
He's crazy... like... totally, he's a typical, pure capitalist, he wants money money money, that hasn't changed in the last 10 years.
Well this article is retarded. bragging about IE9? Seriously? And Kinect? Kinect may be sellign but it doesn't make the technology revolutionary in any way. Not tomention that my xbox has been pretty much collecting dust except for a few games of Halo here and there. I pretty much fully disagree with what the author is saying here. Oh and they raised the price of live (something that you shouldnt even have to pay for.) That counts as evil
True story. MS improved on a lot of things. I said it before, the possibilities with a PC, Windows phone and Xbox Live are unlimited.
MS is winning on a lot of different markets this holiday.
