Microsoft seems to know exactly how to position themselves as 'friend or foe' to fellow competitors. The proof, although hostile to each other in the realm of operating systems, but Microsoft still threw the application for the platform of his opponent. A few months ago, Microsoft had actually made a lot of people surprised by the decision to develop several applications, including Bing on Apple's platform, which can run on smart phones iPhone.
Bing application for the iPhone are openly thrown in Apple's application store, the App Store. Now, after a successful Bing application platform received at the iPhone operating system. Today, Microsoft also will provide similar applications intended for the operating system Android, an open platform developed by Google. And as is known, Microsoft developed the operating system for mobile self-named Windows Phone, formerly called Windows Mobile.
Microsoft does not question the technology can run on various other platforms, even between Microsoft and other companies involved in the fierce business competition. In fact, they did not hesitate to create applications that can run on Windows Mobile, J2ME, BlackBerry and Symbian S60. They also do not mind if one day clashes between the application of their operating system to another. For the software giants 'mow' money can be obtained in any way and like anything, provided that uses an elegant way and legal.
I see very tight competition conducted by the giant companies that play in software such as google, microsoft and yahoo. their ideas and innovations they have done very useful for every user. I think this is their real steps to provide the best services for all people who use their services.
