There was another layoff that occurred in Microsoft last May 5, 2009. The company is trimming although not entirely eradicating a number of merchandises. Subsequent to the previous cut down of 1,400 careers this past January, Microsoft had another cut down this Tuesday with over 3,000 positions.

Products that have been affected with the layoffs count in MSN Direct Service, .Net Micro Framework and Microsoft’s ResponsePoint communication system.  According to the company they will carry on trading and sustaining the primary edition of ResponsePoint targeted at minor industries.
