Microsoft has 1 massive disadvantage when it tries to enter new markets.

It has to deal with brutal cutthroat competition from its worst enemy: Microsoft.

Ms internal politics destroy almost all its successes, their politics are why theyve never really been a threat, for every skype there's a teams which cuts them off at the knees lest it cost a division head their chance at a promotion.
