Down Goes Microsoft
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
THE month of August is nearly over and many people return from vacation. We wrote a great deal about Microsoft's layoffs last month (it was one heck of a bloodbath, lots of 'Quiet Cutting' as explained in this video about 'Quiet Layoffs').
"Putting aside the Web's slow demise, watch what happened to Microsoft." The latest Web server survey that's released every month came out hours ago. It shows rather appalling performance in the market by Microsoft. The numbers did not just go down, they collapsed!
Putting aside the Web's slow demise, watch what happened to Microsoft.
Microsoft's numbers at the client side and the server side are both decreasing in absolute terms and relative terms. But on the server side it's getting to the point where it just makes sense for Microsoft to throw in the towel and quit the market altogether.
"Losing 10% in just one month is very significant."Recent reports (press/media) said that GNU/Linux now commands about 80% or 90% of servers (soon this won't be mentioned anymore), so the "Microsoft loves Linux" PR lying campaign was part of an effort to hijack and control the competition which was winning, mostly through Azure, which is failing and cheating shareholders (while hiding the endless layoffs and other significant cuts).
To quote the latest report from Netcraft (already in our Daily Links):
Microsoft saw the largest loss this month, losing 3.1 million sites (-9.52%), 123,295 domains (-1.74%) and 10,571 computers (-0.89%). Microsoft now accounts for 2.73% of sites seen by Netcraft, down by 0.27pp.
