Two and a half years ago, Microsoft's top executives and engineers received a memo about a "... services wave of applications and experiences available instantly over the internet ..." was on its way and would change forever the traditional software business. Since then, the software giant has been very quiet about how it would ride this wave.
And now, it can be read around the web that Microsoft' s new strategy will lay out a roadmap of moves across three major areas: the transformation of the company's portfolio of enterprise applications to a web-services architecture, the launch of web versions of its major PC applications, and the continued expansion of its data center network. In other words, Microsoft will focus on what it calls "software plus services" - the tying of webware to traditional installed apps.
Hopefully, it will look more as a type on local computer, save on the web. Microsoft should try to imitate Google by putting everything on the web. Google is the king of the web, Microsoft is king of the local desktop. Microsoft shall take their local MS-Office kingdom as their initial start. Create document on local, but make it easy to post it on the web. If they do a "me too" approach, how effective can it really be. After all, in the mind of the consumer: Google is on the web, Microsoft is on the desktop. Trying to make Microsoft the king of the web is not only an uphill battle, it is also seem "unnatural" to Microsoft's current posture.
