People said the same thing about Microsoft Windows in the 1990s, and the same thing about IBM computers in the 1980s, etc., etc.

Microsoft has 80% desktop market share, a growing stock price, and a growing mountain of cash. If this is what being beaten looks like, sign me up for a beating.

IBM survived two world wars.

Products come and go, and no single company will own all profit streams.

The context is search. Think by any measure Google has "beaten" MS in search. Would say the same in Mobile, browser, AI and a couple of other things. Can not think of anything Google had that MS took away.

The desktop has declined substantially in importance.
