Microsoft Corp (MSFT)
He might not be the richest guy in the world anymore, but Microsoft's uber-geek Bill Gates brought technological ease into a majority of American homes with Windows operating systems. Microsoft develops and supports software and hardware that include operating systems, a wide range of application systems, and all sorts of electronic goodies. Microsoft doesn't forget the fun, too - the company sells the Xbox 360 video game console and the Zune digital music player.
Microsoft will be releasing a new gaming product called Kinect soon; will that increase their sales?
Google (GOOG) image search is getting somewhat of a facelift. The search engine is now putting up to 1,000 images on the first results page and implementing a new image-based ad format. The new look is designed to reduce the number of clicks it takes to find the image you're looking for and to provide more information about a particular image without having to click through to the result. Sounds good???now you can save time. Plus, there is also built a thumbnail preview that pops up when you hover over a given image with information such as the URL where it is located. This is simular to Microsoft's (MSFT) Bing Image Search. Now, for advertisers on Google Images Search pages, advertisers will be able to insert an image into their text ads???good for businesse, more ad revenue for Google. What do you think of this?
Microsoft is a pretty stable company. We probably won't see any big losses, but no big gains either.

Microsoft (MSFT) has announced that it has integrated Facebook and Windows Live Messenger into Outlook, bringing the streams of millions of Facebook users into inboxes across the world. Outlook completes the cycle with not only Facebook integration, but support for Windows Live Messenger bringing Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Windows Live Messenger to millions of business and personal inboxes worldwide. Outlook Social Connector syncs social networking feeds with your Outlook contacts New Facebook status updates will pop up in realtime within Outlook. Outlook can only pull data from Facebook. There is no "liking" posts or updating your status via Outlook, at least right now. It sounds like Microsoft is trying to become a major player on the social network scene. What do you think?
Microsoft has a very good chance of increasing in value with all of the products they produce.
With systems like Xbox and Windows, this company should have no problem growing ing the far future.
