Microsoft Turns 30

Via Red Herring.

Microsoft is celebrating its 30th anniversary at the company’s annual meeting on Friday but the festivity is clouded by the software giant’s recent problems, which include a stagnant stock price, accusations that bureaucracy is stifling innovation, and a formidable competitor in Google.

The annual meeting at Safeco Field in Seattle is expected to draw 16,000 Redmond-based employees who will be addressed by top Microsoft executives.

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer are expected to talk about the company’s future and innovations in the areas of graphics, speech recognition, signal processing, facial-expression mapping, and quantum computing.
