Microsoft Future

On Thursday, the software giant Microsoft reported its quarterly earnings. The numbers were so good that no only have helped the stock market close, but also are about 28% percent more if compared to last years quarter. Furthermore, Microsoft have set and claimed another record, making their latest operating system, Windows 7, the fastest operating system sold in history. Nearly 10% of the world's computers run Windows 7.

Nevertheless, if the present is bright the future presents itself with some uncertainty. As the market keeps going towards mobile and portable computer, which are fields that Microsoft is not as solid as expected. In fact Steve Balmer, Microsoft's CEO, have announced some time ago that Microsoft have no intentions to compete anymore on the smartphones market.

According to PC World magazine "Microsoft sees its Bing search, Xbox Live, and budding cloud services as areas of growth--but they're not there yet."

Our best hopes for this big american corporation which is about to face some challenges.
