What Microsoft Should Do
Henry Blodget writes: "(First, I should clarify my position regarding Microsoft: My position is not that Microsoft's web business sucks. It doesn't. Microsoft is either the third or fourth strongest web company on the planet. My position is that the common idea that Microsoft is going to do what it has done in many software businesses--come from behind, bury Google and Yahoo!, and rule the web--is ludicrous. Microsoft has been trying to come from behind on the web for a decade, and it is almost as far behind now as when it started. A few more years--or Microsoft Live, or AdCenter--is not going to change this.)"
