Analysts say Microsoft faces four major challenges in 2010.

According to foreign media reports, analysts have listed the four challenges facing Microsoft in 2010, and the Windows operating system and Office office software are on the list.

This year, Microsoft released Windows 7 and launched the Bing search engine.

So far, these are two relatively successful products, and we need to make persistent efforts in 2010. In addition, Microsoft faces strong challenges in the smartphone platform and office market, and needs action next year.

The following are the four major challenges facing Microsoft in 2010:

1. Don't be too far away in the smartphone market

This year, Microsoft launched Windows Mobile6. 5, but only the 6.0 version of the hasty upgrade, did not attract too many users to pay attention. In contrast, Google, Apple, RIM and Palm are eye-catching.

Next year, even if it is impossible to catch up with competitors, Microsoft must ensure that Windows Mobile 6.5 is not alienated and provide more details on Windows Mobile 7.

2. Ensuring the current momentum of Windows 7

So far, Windows 7 is not Vista, which is good news for Microsoft. In 2010, Microsoft needs to continue to ensure Windows 7 sales, attracting more users to upgrade to Windows 7.

3. Beware of Google Apps

Whether GoogleApps really threatens Microsoft Office revenue is still controversial. Currently, GoogleApps mainly attracts individual consumer users, and companies still insist on using Office. But as Google continues to upgrade its enterprise capabilities, this situation will not last long.

4. Make Bing bigger

Bing's 2010 goal is simple, increase market share and increase advertising revenue. But to achieve this goal is not easy.
