Is Android causing layoffs at Microsoft?

Is Android causing layoffs at Microsoft?

Ok, we’ve all heard by now that Windows Mobile has fallen significantly as the operating system of choice for Smartphones. One of those reasons is clearly the ever popular Android-based devices we have all been hearing a lot about; and wanting.

Problems at Microsoft can clearly be seen when:

Motorola’s decided to not include Windows Mobile in the 2010 lineup of devices and instead focus on Android.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer recently told analysts that, ”It was a tough year on succeeding with phones, mostly our own issues, frankly.”
Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft’s entertainment and devices business, admitted to problems with Microsoft’s mobile strategy in a meeting with financial analysts and investors—reporting that Microsoft’s share of the mobile phone operating system market had declined.

Have these types of setbacks caused some of the current rounds of job cuts at Microsoft? One might think so as it seems Microsoft is losing ground within the mobile arena. Regardless, Microsoft has unfortunately laid off 800 more employees.

That’s a normal situation. I was also a victim of recession causing for me to be layed off from work. Its hard, really. Especially when the rate of your expenses is higher than the salary. Ooh God may we call for God’s intervention here.haha. Anyway, If there's too much <a rev="vote for" title="Debt Relief – When Should Governments Get Involved?" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/10/22/debt-relief-governments/ ">government intervention</a> for debt relief – we cripple ourselves to save ourselves, and empower the wealthy over the working.
