    “Might want to be making…”

    Weird ass attempt at future perfect tense?

      Is it wrong? Definitely awkward, but I’ve seen this construction before. Not a native speaker…

        I think it’s probably an Indian English-ism. It’s understandable but sounds weird to speakers of American English (and maybe other English dialects).

        A more natural sounding title (to an American English speaker) would use “Microsoft is making” or “Microsoft is planning to make” rather than “Microsoft might want to be making”.

        It’s English, so it’s difficult to be wrong, but that phrase do be weird.
