--Is this 2020? It must be the future because MS has not died and is still very relevant.
My point, as has been made in the past, is that MS has not innovated for a good many years. No one is scared by MS any more. No one cares what they do. They aren't leading anything. They are simply trying to eke out their monopoly for all its worth.
No startup thinks "Oh no what if ms are developing a similar thing", because we all know they aren't.
I expect they could still turn it around, but they'd have to actually make things people want which isn't what they are used to. They are used to a monopoly.
