Comments on: Microsoft to retune entertainment group

This latest move will split the company's entertainment and devices division into four business units.

Looks like....

..... MS is finally hearing the thud of the competitors' footsteps
about to run up MS's back. So it is certainly time to shift into a
defensive formation. Will it work??? Probably not as much as it
needs to. This may be more of a paint job than an actual structural
change.

A Day Late and a Dollar Short

I agree, however, Microsoft should have postered itself long ago instead of waiting until its competitors got a leg up on them. It seems Microsofts innovation is a result of another company's successful entry into a new market or an enhancement/extension of an existing one rather than Microsoft creating the space themself. I wish them well but as within competitive sports, there is always a new champion on the horizon...

Quote from Petronius (a first Century Roman)

But it's still so relevant in so many situation today:

"We trained hard - But it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; And what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization."
