Five Strategies Microsoft Got Right in the past

I found out an interesting article about the strategies of a great big company, Microsoft.
Please look at the detail here.

I am repeating golden 5 strategies.
1. Question the rules. Change the game.
2. Create win-win partner situations to grow fast.
3. Don’t neglect your customers’ most important need: a better price.
4. Make it easy for partners to customize your product.
5. Business isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. Be persistent.

I like 1, 2, 5 personally.

Some analysist suggest that there might be a buyout by HP, IBM or DELL as the price of SUN is really low compared to it's real value.

I focused on CSVT (Circuit Switch based Video Telephony) that is a standard for 3G networks.
Europe, Japan and Korea support this.
