More job cuts at Microsoft
Microsoft is set to lay off more staff just days after humiliatingly laying to rest its Kin phone. The software giant plans to cut more jobs as early as this week. The losses will be on top of 5,000 announced last year. Sources close to the company say only a small number of jobs will go, in line with past reductions in numbers. However, there are fears that hundreds of staff have been axed. The company said the internal team working on the Kin phones would be combined with the group working on Microsoft’s forthcoming Windows Phone 7 software.
