Why it's admired:
The Redmond,
Washington-based giant advanced on several fronts. Early last year, it
struck a reported $1 billion-plus deal with Nokia; the Finnish handset
maker will promote and develop phones using Windows Phone as the primary
operating system. Microsoft also bought popular Internet phone company
Skype for $8.5 billion, its largest purchase ever. And with the launch
of services like Office 365, Windows Intune, and Dynamics CRM Online
2011, Microsoft pushed even more aggressively into the cloud.
