Microsoft He was in the heart of computing for half a century, as he became almost a technical powerful as a Muslim by it, as it embraced lifestyles online.

While the company, which was established to see computers in every home and office, celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its founding on Friday, it looks forward to strengthening its wealth. Being a leader in the rapid development of artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence).

“From the point of view of the story of the story, it was a boring company and a boring arrow,” said Jeremy Goldman, analyst, analyst, analyst, analyst, analyst, analyst at Emarketer, on Washington’s Richmond team, based in Washington.

He continued, referring to the value of Microsoft based on the price of its share: “It is funny because they have a maximum of the market with a value of $ 2.9 trillion, and this is huge.”

The only maximum company for the higher market is the iPhone maker apple.

Cloud computing feeds Microsoft revenues with the help of the office program everywhere, which has now been hosted online and has no longer released in flexible tablets or CDs.

“It is not a very exciting, but very precious infrastructure,” said Goldman about Microsoft Data Centers and programs and their programs at the basis of the cloud computing platform.

Amazon Web services (AWS) and Google They are my cloud computers from Microsoft.

“Little Representatives”

The clouds were the things that expected the weather instead of computing when Bill Gates and childhood friend Paul Allen established what was called for the first time “small cores” in 1975.

They launched the MS-DOS operating system known as “Windows” and continued to operate most of the world.

Microsoft Office programs including Word, Excel and PowerPoint have become standard working tools, and they even prevent free Google documents programs.

“Microsoft had many companies that were weaker and challenging – the perfect example is the office,” said Goldman.

“This office is still a useful work for them saying something about the way they were able to innovate.”

The current CEO Satia Nadella defended Microsoft’s transformation to the availability of her program on almost any device as hosted subscription services in the cloud.

The analyst said this step is likely to save Microsoft from seeing free services such as Google documents that reduce its market share to scratch.

“Achilles all”

Microsoft remains under other American technology giants when it comes to shows such as social networks, smartphones and digital assistants filled with Amnesty International that have become woven in people’s lives, but it is not because there is no effort.

Microsoft presented Xbox video game boards in 2001, where it builds stable from stable studios, making the great purchase of Activision Blizzard Two years ago and add an online subscription service to players.

Despite its launch of the Bing search engine in 2009, Google still dominates this market.

In 2016, Microsoft bought a social network that focuses on job LinkedInWhich witnessed steady growth. But it still lacks access to Facebook Meta or InstagramOr Elon Musk effect (previously Twitter).

Microsoft is among those who work to buy Tiktok, who faces a ban in the United States if not before by China -based BYTEDANCE.

While Apple and Google were made by making it easy or even enjoyable for users to deal with products, it was “Achilles heel” for Microsoft, according to Coldman.

“It was never a strong suit,” the analyst said.

Miss mobile phone

Related to focus on sales instead of innovation, Steve Palmer, who has followed Gates as head of Microsoft from 2000 to 2013, is offered the loss of shift to smartphones and other mobile computing devices.

Behind, Nadella, pledged to make Microsoft Company “First-Fairst, Cloud-FIRST”, Microsoft has invested significantly in artificial intelligence, where she got a class in Chatgpt-Maker Openai and technology building in shows including Bing, although benefiting from it.

Behind Amnesty International?

Independent analyst Jacques Gold believes that despite these investments and efforts, Microsoft fails to artificial intelligence because it lacks its chips or the foundation model.

Gold said of Microsoft: “They are not advanced in that like AWS and Google, so they are still playing a little to catch up with this space,” Gold said of Microsoft.

The analyst said that the growth of Google Cloud’s revenue is moving in a rapid pace to bypass the Azure from Microsoft for the second position in the market two years ago.
