Microsoft has announced a plan to reorganize its corporate structure in order to better face its industry competitors. The company has pared down from seven divisions to three to decrease infighting among branches.
The changes announced Tuesday also are designed to respond to criticism that the company has become weighed down by bureaucracy, leading to communication problems and product delays.

Microsoft said it plans to move toward more Internet-based service offerings. Products from competitors, including Web-based consumer e-mail and online updates for business software, are seen by some as a serious, long-term threat to Microsoft and its dominant Windows operating system.
