Mary-Jo Foley has a post detailing what Microsoft call it’s eight core businesses, which are:

  • Xbox and TV
  • Bing
  • Office
  • Windows Server
  • Windows Phone
  • Windows
  • Business users
  • SQL Server

I guess this kind of covers all the current product areas all ready but its interesting to see Business users split out and no mention of consumers. Windows Media Center could fit in the TV section and the Windows section, WHS in the server part but  I am not sure where Zune would sit in that. There are no major surprises in the list but It would be been nice to see Digital Home a core focus,

Read the details on Mary-Jo’s blog.

One thought on “Microsoft: We are focusing on eight core businesses”
  1. I see they mentioned “Mediaroom (IPTV)” with no mention of “Windows Media Center”. I really do hope that WMC has a future because the UI is really good. I guess as plans for Windows 8 start to surface all will become clear.

    Does anyone think WMC might not be part of Windows 8?
