Defeated in Tech Ring by TKO, Microsoft Hits Below Belt in Street Fight (Part 1)

Microsoft, still the leader in yesterday’s desktop operating systems and software has lost decisive battles in the tech boxing matches, in what is effectively a technical knock-out.

As we shall see, it lost it in the tech ring, so it took its fight into the street, and hit Google below the belt.

Several times.

Losing the Tech Fights

Bing, for all the money spent on it, has barely 10% of the market, according to comScore.

IIS, Microsoft’s Internet Server, has less than one quarter of the market (in terms of domains served)

and far less in terms of total traffic.

Note that Google more than doubled its market share in three months while Microsoft’s has continued to drop. The Noisy announcement of its still-to-come “new generation” cell phone platform, ineptly named Windows Phone 7 Series (I’m not kidding) is not only very late to the game, but drew mostly yawns.
