Post review

Recently, I heard about that Microsoft completed acquiring Skype with 8.5 billon dollars. I think that this is really a wise trade because after this trade, Microsoft can earn more profit of communication and can make itself more competive against with Apple and Google company.

Thomson Financial predicts that the fiscal first quarter of Microsoft company will reach 17.3 billion dollars and this Compared with the same period last year, Microsoft now face the effects of the slowing PC sales. And the Office 2010 raised the number of selling. This means Microsoft company will face the financial problem if it will not give some business decisions.

So Microsoft company acquired Skype can make Microsoft better because Skype can combine with the products of Microsoft such as lynx 2010 and Xbox Live and windows phone. Apple want to change the text fee to data fee so that users can use more application online and data fee is cheaper than text messages fee, more people are willing to use iPhone instead of other phones. So after Microsoft acquired Skype, It must raise the sell of windows phone because the convenient of using Skype and Skype has the advanced technology of communication and also it has the large group of users such as individuals, business group and so on.

Nowadays, people are comparing differences of the windows 8 with windows 7, they have difficult in deciding if they should upgrade the operating system. So the sales volume of windows 7 is not very stable. If Microsoft want to raise the sales volume, it must take the advantage of entertainment department because the product from this sells well like Xbox which is the most popular recreational machine.

In conclusion, I think if Microsoft want to interpret the sales volume, it should take the advantage of Skype, develop the group of customer base, insert the windows operating system into tablet PC and find some improvement of Yahoo search engine.
