Microsoft relying on its own bright minds
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
Microsoft's decision to distribute a substantial portion of its cash hoard back to shareholders signals that the company is unlikely to make any big acquisitions in the near future.
While other big corporations have gobbled up other companies to spur growth, Microsoft has largely chosen a different path: relying on its own large stable of bright minds and mostly making smaller purchases to complement its own offerings.
As Microsoft searches for new revenue to keep profits growing, analysts expect the company to continue to rely on its in-house talent over its fat pocketbook.
