Why did Microsoft enter the Internet Market late?

Question

Everything Involves the internet now, Movies, Cellular Phones, TV Automobiles, Schools, Colleges, Music, just to name a few, the Internet has changed the way we communicate; Microsoft has always been on the cutting edge of tecnology; Hod did a company no one had hardly heard of become so competive.

Answer 1

Microsoft did not exactly enter the market late.

Microsoft has been involved with internet-related business from fairly early in the game, but were focused on owning the infrastructure: browsers, servers, e-commerce solutions, email, etc. When you take a look at many of the "big players" in the market, you will find that most of them are using at least one Microsoft product somewhere in their critical business path.

Hope this helps!
