Microsoft said it wants to build its own software and then sell it for much cheaper than the competition

Microsoft's success in the IT industry is no secret. The company tends to make a big success out of most businesses it decides to try out. When the software giant does fall behind the competition however, it turns to a vast sum of money and either acquires or simply demolishes the competition out of noticeable existence.

In a meeting held by Microsoft's business division president Jeff Raikes this week, Microsoft announced that it will now take a different approach when it comes to business software: build, not buy. What Microsoft will bank on is creating new software based on current an in-house developed portfolio of software that includes SQL Server and Office.
