Microsoft
Microsoft appears in 13,651 analyzed articles across the measured technology press. Recent coverage is steady, counting every mention over recent months. This page shows the public snapshot: movement, coverage mix, recent sources, and what drove the latest change.
Compass measures press coverage, not Microsoft's product quality, business performance, or market value.
Counting every mention, coverage of Microsoft is steady — it appears in 13,651 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What Microsoft coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.
Story type and claim stage are shares of the 13,598 classified coverage items in this window.
How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
13,651 articles mention Microsoft across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 8,408 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.

393 posts on company and project channels mention Microsoft across the full 15-month record. They come from any company or project channel Compass reads, not only Microsoft's own. They are counted separately from the 13,651 press articles.
