pWotD Episode 2751: Microsoft Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 537,399 views on Tuesday, 12 November 2024 our article of the day is Microsoft.Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational corporation and technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington. Its best-known software products are the Windows line of operating systems, the Microsoft 365 suite of productivity applications, the Azure cloud computing platform, and the Edge web browser. Its flagship hardware products are the Xbox video game consoles and the Microsoft Surface lineup of touchscreen personal computers. Microsoft ranked No. 14 in the 2022 Fortune 500 rankings of the largest United States corporations by total revenue; and it was the world's largest software maker by revenue in 2022 according to Forbes Global 2000. It is considered one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Alphabet (parent company of Google), Amazon, Apple, and Meta (parent company of Facebook).Microsoft was founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Windows. The company's 1986 initial public offering (IPO) and subsequent rise in its share price created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made several corporate acquisitions, the largest being the acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion in October 2023, followed by its acquisition of LinkedIn for $26.2 billion in December 2016, Nuance Communications for $16 billion in March 2022, and Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in May 2011.As of 2015, Microsoft is market-dominant in the IBM PC compatible operating system market and the office software suite market, although it has lost the majority of the overall operating system market to Android. The company also produces a wide range of other consumer and enterprise software for desktops, laptops, tabs, gadgets, and servers, including Internet search (with Bing), the digital services market (through MSN), mixed reality (HoloLens), cloud computing (Azure), and software development (Visual Studio).Steve Ballmer replaced Gates as CEO in 2000 and later envisioned a "devices and services" strategy. This unfolded with Microsoft acquiring Danger, Inc. in 2008, entering the personal computer market for the first time in June 2012 with the launch of the Microsoft Surface, and later forming Microsoft Mobile through the acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division. Since Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, the company has scaled back on hardware and instead focused on cloud computing, a move that helped the company's shares reach their highest value since December 1999. Under Nadella's direction, the company has also heavily expanded its gaming business to support the Xbox brand, establishing the Microsoft Gaming division in 2022, dedicated to operating Xbox in addition to its three subsidiaries (publishers). Microsoft Gaming is the third-largest gaming company in the world by revenue as of 2024.In 2018, Microsoft became the most valuable publicly traded company in the world, a position it has repeatedly traded with Apple in the years since. In April 2019, Microsoft reached a trillion-dollar market cap, becoming the third U. S. public company to be valued at over $1 trillion after Apple and Amazon, respectively. As of 2024, Microsoft has the third-highest global brand valuation.Microsoft has been criticized for its monopolistic practices and the company's software has been criticized for problems with ease of use, robustness, and security.Microsoft is one of only two U. S.-based companies that have a prime credit rating of AAA.Microsoft recognizes seven trade unions representing 1,750 workers in the United States at its video game subsidiaries Activision Blizzard and ZeniMax Media. U. S. workers have been vocal in opposing military and law-enforcement contracts with Microsoft. Bethesda Game Studios is unionized in Canada. Microsoft South Korea recognizes its union since 2017. German employees have elected works councils since 1998.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:34 UTC on Wednesday, 13 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Microsoft on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

In this episode, I discuss Microsoft's current position in the mobile space, and their commitment to the competing Android operating system. Should Microsoft make another phone? What's happening with Microsoft Mobile and Lumia?
Admittedly, we often take a more positive view of Microsoft than perhaps the average consumer may. This episode is an exception. David has had about enough of Microsoft lately, so we asked Adam Doud to join us so that we can properly criticize the company, and especially, Windows 10 Mobile. True to form, Adam has to remind us how webOS has paved the way for everything that is good about the current reigning mobile platforms. Also, the Cubs game was a good distraction during the show. Overall, it was an incredible episode. Be sure to check out Adam's work at Pocketnow, and his podcast, TekBeard. 7:57 Ken Bone. The human version of a hug. 12:25 David shares his recent shift in opinion. 18:36 Be public with your praise and private with your criticism. Unless you review things for a living. 28:07 David talks about Zune. Why? Well, what kind of show would it be if Zune wasn't mentioned? 31:43 Which part(s) of "Microsoft Mobile" are "dead"? Windows 10 itself is still pretty awesome. 35:01 Is UWP the answer? To anything? 38:21 We hear about Adam's recent blog post about "Microsoft Killing the Lumia". 48:13 Maybe Windows is just meant to be on desktop, and not on phone. 52:45 Who should buy the Acer Liquid Jade Primo? 1:06:52 Is Continuum worth adopting now? 1:07:28 Tip of the Episode.

Episode 7 - Windows 10 Mobile Windows Phone technical preview 10? Windows 10 for phone technical preview? W10TPfp? It turns out we don't really know what to call what we just installed on our phones, but that didn't stop us from talking about it. Despite not having a specific Microsoft service to discuss, we still managed to share our personal app, music, and podcast picks, but not before sharing the affection and distain we have for what we have seen so far of Windows 10 Mobile. Lacking sleep and a dedicated producer, we still manage to slip a lame joke or two in amongst our analysis of what Microsoft enthusiasts have been trialing the past few days. Enjoy! Show Notes Feedback Bryan Hinkle encourages Microsoft Mobile enthusiasts to build on his concept of an app that helps Windows Phone users share with companies that need a Windows Phone app, encouraging them to invest the time in building one. Darrell Prichard reminds us and the listeners that Microsoft Virtual Academy is a wonderful resource for gaining knowledge and experience with a variety of Microsoft services and software. All for free! Windows Insider Microsoft releases the latest version of the Windows 10 Mobile technical preview. We discuss the key new apps.

Be sure to let your friends know, too! Tip of the Episode Skype on all platforms Video, of course. Skype is still the best VoIP service. Messaging works well. May not have the stickers that Facebook does, but the benefit is that you will not have to use Facebook. Works well on desktop. “Metro” app needs some work. No real “web” interface yet, like GroupMe, but integration into Outlook.com and Office Online works well, without too many bells and whistles. Guests For this episode, we were honored with contributions by Daniel Rubino and Richard Devine, both of Windows Central fame. The four of us discussed many things Microsoft, but not nearly as much as we would have liked. Daniel and Richard have so much great insight, we could have chatted about Microsoft Mobile for hours. Here are some of the things that we discussed: Overall take-aways from Mobile World Congress Where the Lumia 640 and 640 XL fit into the long-term device plan for Microsoft How the Microsoft Band might be welcomed in the markets outside the US Why a non-tech-enthusiast may want to choose the Band What can be expected from a "Hero" device running Windows 10 for phone, and why it isn't already available Mobile payments on Windows devices, such as PayPal, as they could and should compete with Apple and Android Pay Why Cortana everywhere changes the game What is means to use the Spartan Browser and have Cortana everywhere Despite the Apple TV has dropping in price to $69.99, why Microsoft may not want to dive into owning the living room with a direct competitor Windows Phone app picks JJ: Darklings Vernon: ADP Mobile Solutions Richard: Wallet Pass Daniel: Fedora Reader Xbox Music Picks JJ: Breaking Benjamin Vernon: Led Zeppelin Podcast Picks JJ: Windows Developer Show with Ryan Lowdermilk and Travis Lowdermilk Vernon: The Tekbeard podcast, with Adam Doud, Clifton Thomas, and Ryan St. Andrie Daniel: Joe Rogan Experience, with Joe Rogan Wrap-up We were glad to have had Daniel and Richard share their thoughts and opinions, and we appreciate all that they do to inform Microsoft fans of the ongoing and developing stories that affect us all.
