Microsoft's Great Game

from the where-to-go-now dept

A good Economist article about how two recent, very different, announcements from Microsoft may represent their future. With all the hype about .Net, interstingly enough, neither of these announcements were directly related to it. Instead, it talks about mobile phones and game systems, and how both represent a threat to Microsoft's core business - and explains why Microsoft has leapt gleefully into both businesses.

The "implant a chip into everything including your children to keep them from getting stolen" business? They really will have to take over the world!
