Lesson #2: Develop an A-Team
“At Microsoft, there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top,” says Gates. “I’m afraid that’s not quite right.” While Gates has been the famous face of Microsoft for over thirty years, it took the help of numerous other trusted individuals to help realize the company’s success.

Lesson #4: Never Underestimate the Power of Research
Ogilvy came from a background in research; in his early years he had worked for the world-renowned George Gallup Audience Research Institute, which he later called “the luckiest break of my life.” It was at Gallup that Ogilvy learned about research and its importance in advertising.

Microsoft Acquires SAP? (A Commentary)
In her December 3rd posting in Information Week, Mary Hayes Weier reported a rumor in which Microsoft was in the process of moving toward acquiring SAP. The markets as Ms. Weier put it “felt strongly enough about the rumor that they drove up SAP’s stock by nearly 2%.” She went on to say that “there could be something to it,” as Microsoft had originally “looked at acquiring SAP” in June of 2004.

Microsoft had recognized the growing popularity – and even greater potential – of Craigslist and wanted to get a piece of the action. But, like all of the venture capitalists that Newmark had already turned down, so too did he reject Microsoft’s offer.

Advertise on Bing
I decided to write this article after thinking “advertise on bing?” After doing some intense research I have found that Bing is formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search and MSN Search and is from Microsoft. This new search engine was unveiled by Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009 and since when full online June 3, 2009. Since its release it has become the third largest search engine with roughly 3.6% being dwarfed by Google at 85.35% but awfully close to Yahoo at 6.15%.

A Little Something That Microsoft Doesn’t Want You to Know About Bing
