Microsoft is falling behind yet again in their attempts to create new software that will work on any form of portable tablets. Microsoft usually isn’t the first company to come up with new technology, but, they are well-known for their come backs. The company is now trying to sell their new software, Microsoft Windows 8, to companies to create new apps for it. These apps will then be available to tablets for people to buy. Profits have been dropping recently for the Microsoft Company and many fear that if they are unable to make their new software work, the company will not last much longer.
