Maybe, but the markets also shift. Companies evolve. Old products fade out of importance and new goods and services appear. Their company value has never been higher.

I'm not sure I would have liked a world where IBM continued to control so much - we probably would have a much smaller open ecosystem.

Yes, but it's the same story with Microsoft now. If they lose control over the PC market, it can only make it better.

I mean, the stuff I was hearing about Microsoft over a decade ago was that they were giving up on the OS and moving everything to a cloud based SaaS model. Basically, focusing energy where the money is.
