Microsoft
The company has hundreds of millions of federated user identities through Office 365 and LinkedIn, is the world’s second-largest cloud provider, has a broad suite of work-related software and services across all systemsplatformsinfrastructure, clear technical experiences for massively shared online contentactions, and a set of potential gateway experiences through Minecraft, Xbox + Xbox Live, and HoloLens. To that end, the Metaverse offers Microsoft a chance to recapture the OShardware leadership poland mobile database it abandoned in the switch from PC to mobile. But more importantly, CEO Satya Nadella understands that Microsoft needs to at least be where work happens. Successfully adapting from enterprise to consumer, PC to mobile, offline to online, while maintaining a dominant position in the “work” economy, it’s hard to imagine Microsoft not being a major driver of the future of virtualization of the workforce and information processing.
Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has explicitly announced his intention to develop and own the Metaverse, which will build a larger and more powerful social graph than any other company and represent a new computing platform and a new engagement platform. At the same time, the Metaverse also allows Facebook to extend its reach up and down the stack. Despite multiple efforts to build smartphone operating systems and deploy consumer hardware, Facebook remains a FAAMG company that only stays at the applicationservice layer. Through the Metaverse, Facebook could become the next Android or iOSiPhone hence Oculus, not to mention the virtual goods version of Amazon.
