That's a lot to have confidence in. Is this tangled web of nested lists Microsoft's idea of "focus"? cf. Apple, Google, and Amazon's mission statements.
- benologist 12y agoDid Microsoft declare that their mission statement or is it just a few things a very large organization considers important?
- gtirloni 12y agoMission statements are usually pure BS. Microsoft is too big to have a single focus. Google has discovered that recently. Apple is still having some focus, but just made a joint PR with IBM about enterprise-y stuff.. so where's the focus? I'm trying to think of a huge company with a specifc focus and I can't. Perhaps others can weight in here.
- Systemic33 12y agoI'm quite certain Intel is pretty focused on making faster, smaller and more efficient processors.
- jamin 12y agoThey certainly have their fingers in more pies than just processors.
- kalleboo 12y agoTelecoms companies still seem pretty focused (Cisco, Ericsson). Does Nintendo count as huge?
- gtirloni 12y agoCisco is selling servers and "cloud automation" services these days. Ericsson is even selling smart power meters (although it does seem more focused than others). Nintendo is a good example! 16B mkt cap, all on games.
