The wireless company has declined Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) request to pre-install apps on S6.It is a known fact that Microsoft has been facing quite a threat by tech giants like Google and Apple and for that reason; the software giant has been trying hard to make plans so that it could make itself prominent and dominant in those companies rivalry. The main thing that it has been working on it is to make the applications more popular amidst the dominance of Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS system. The software company was recently seen making an announcement for the purpose of spreading its apps on a wider scale by targeting as many phones and handsets that it could get its hands on. However, this plan of the firm seemed to be with no proper foundation.
Verizon Communications business and AT&T were recently seen to have declined the fact that any such deal between the tech giant and them took place. They further declared that Microsoft Corporation had plans for installing its apps before anybody on Samsung’s new phone Galaxy S6, but this was also not accepted by the wireless companies. Now the fact that the US’s largest wireless communication providers are not in favor of reinstalling or installing apps made by Microsoft Corporation on their phones clearly shows how the software developing apps have a really low demand currently and this has come as a huge shock to the Windows company.
Microsoft Corporation is one of the largest software developing company in the world and for it to face such a position is quite a surprising factor. The company had initially planned to install apps like OneDrive, Skype and OneNote on the S6 series so that once the phones get out in the public, it becomes available to more and more people and in this way, the popularity and usage of these apps could have increased. The tech giant is desperately trying to compete with the other developers in the industry and is looking forward to taking the company to higher levels of progress and it to be believed by the developers that by pre-installing apps on a phone, it could be made possible that it reaches out to more people. Unfortunately, the wireless companies have different cell phone plans and the decline from them has come out to be not only a surprise, but also quite a disappointment for the giant.
On the other hand, Verizon wireless business has made sure that the three apps Microsoft Corporation was previously planning to install on the S6 will not be taking their said positions on the handsets and it was a final notice given by them, dismissing all the rumors. However, AT&T will have Skype and OneDrive pre-installed on the phones it sells.
