Many exciting things going on around Microsoft....
After a long Apple TV-advertising campaign (MAC vs PC) things seem to be changing.
Taking a look Microsoft's stock performance we see that it hit rock bottom early march like many other companies.
But what is happening now? Well after the yahoo deal fell through Microsoft introduced "bing" with a huge marketing campaign and lots of expensive TV-advertising. Bing is a direct competitor of google and other search engines. It tries to differentiate itself by claiming it will help you find what you are actually looking for rather than finding everything relating to the searched word.
Also windows started talking about its next operating system "Windows 7".
This can become a very interesting year for Microsoft. Apple will release its newest operating system in the fall and the quesiton becomes will Apple continue to increase market share or will Microsoft be able to change the trend.
Currently the Microsoft stock is traded $5 below its 1 year high, but that may change very soon....

New direction
I know, i know it's been a while, but i had a couple things going on and did not see any pressing developments i would have to inform you about...
well things changed and i am broadening my focus a little bit.
Now that the stock market rebound over 30% from its low there are many exciting things going on.
Today i wanna talk a little bit about the Dollar and its strength. Last summer it took $1.56 to buy 1 Euro. By December the dollar recouped and you would only have to pay $1.23.
Well over the last couple of month the dollar had a lot of movement. the general trend was a weakening of the dollar the low so far was $1.42/euro. At that point a Russian politician made a public announcement that he can not imagine that the dollar is loosing its status as worlds leading currency. At that point the dollar gained 5 cents on the euro.
I strongly recommend to keep an eye on these developments as the daily variations are often over 1% in either direction.
