If you are one of the small minority of people running OS X in a business environment then of course Microsoft's vertical integration is less useful. But well over 90% of business desktops/laptops are Windows based, so Microsoft has an attractive model for many businesses.
- jiggy2011 13y agoYah, but that's kind of my point. They are spreading themselves thin because their business model is all based around vertical integration.
- rednukleus 13y agoI'm not sure I understand your point. How does making the Xbox hurt Windows Server or Windows Phone?
- jiggy2011 13y agoIt doesn't , if anything it's the opposite.
- rednukleus 13y agoSo in what sense do you think they are spreading themselves too thin?
- jiggy2011 13y agoI don't really, they need the verticals to maintain their current position. They can't really "hunker down" on a few core products in the same way that Apple does.
- rednukleus 13y agoAha, looks like I misinterpreted your original comment. I knew one of us was being dense - turns out it was me.
