Microsoft: New era, new challenges
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft will take a few moments today to reflect on its first three decades. But the company doesn't have much time to sit back and reminisce.
The anniversary, to be marked during an employee event at Safeco Field, comes at a pivotal moment in Microsoft's history. Strong rivals lead the company in critical markets, deadlines loom for major product releases and executives are embarking on a big corporate restructuring. Then there's the ongoing antitrust battle in Europe, questions over growth prospects, continued security problems and a flat stock price.
