		</div><p>Microsoft is laying off thousands of employees in a shake-up aimed at selling more subscriptions to software applications that can be used on any internet-connected device.</p>
<p>Most of the people losing their jobs work in sales and are located outside the US.</p>
<p>The Redmond, Washington, company confirmed that it began sending the lay-off notices on Thursday, but declined to provide further specifics except that thousands of sales jobs will be cut.</p>
<p>Microsoft Corp employs about 121,500 people worldwide.</p>
<p>The cuts are part of Microsoft’s shift away from its traditional approach of licensing its Office software and other programs for a one-time fee tied to a single computer.</p>
<p>The company is now concentrating on selling recurring subscriptions for software accessible on multiple devices, a rapidly growing trend known as &#8220;cloud computing&#8221;.</p>
