From the website:
http://ripetungi.com/microsoft-acquisitions-and-investments/
Infographic showing the acquisitions and investments of Microsoft, done as a tube map with each coloured line representing a different industry for each acquisition or investment.  Where the stations meet is where the two industries overlap.  The key at the bottom displays information about the location on the map of the station (company) the year of acquisition or investment.

I could also wish for a distinction between investments and acquisitions.
I saw Facebook on there and had to re-read.  :o

may be they will get rid of that annoying plugin that turns all numbers on the pages into skype numbers!

Please read the comments though, cause despite the headline I doubt it has anything to do with MS.

Interesting read.

While I don't think it has anything to do with MS, I think it will... Once things are full steam ahead and MS starts firing people for that... ;) ;D
