How Microsoft Will End Soon

The biological species that rule and that will rule the world in the future are those who can adapt themselves to the new environment condition. Those that cannot are condemned to extinction.

The same rule applies to companies. If they do not adapt themselves to new demands the market will stop buying from them and they will lose sales and money and will ultimately bankrupt.

Microsoft was the most innovative company about twenty years ago. They made mass computing possible to everyone thanks to their innovative ideas. Their ideas were right for that time however as years went by their ideas remained pretty much the same. You see that Windows, which is Microsoft main software, cannot cope with internet and Windows is basically what it was about ten years ago. Microsoft itself cannot do many great things on the internet. They do not have a good email service, they do not have good online applications, and only now they managed to do a better search engine.

Why?

Microsoft still has the same technology and business ideas they had decades ago. They are trying to make a better and faster and cheaper horse when what people really want is a motor car! This was the thought of Henry Ford. They are trying to sell us CDs when we already use MP4. That CD could have several TBs of space but what we want is the new medium which is the totally digitalized sound easy to carry to any place we want.

Of course they are ready for such change if they want. Their business model which took so long to build still needs a lot of work and planning though but they can do it.

There is also the Ego factor. They just do not want to admit either that their model is obsolete or they do not have the capacity to change that much.

Or they are afraid to do so!

Google seems to have the right ideas for today but even with Google you can see their ideas are becoming obsolete. The way they rank pages still has many holes they have not managed to fix maybe because of lack of new ideas. They are already 10 years old!

Companies need to get brand new brains every five years or so.
