The problem is the long term run. At the moment they are really profitable, but with the switching of the market from pc-leadership to tablet-smartphone-smartdevices leadershipt they are in big risks.

They could always do the IBM. Retrench, sell to corporate, cut costs. Apparently very profitable.

Kill your R&D and seed corn for short term gains? Very profitable today...but what about tomorrow?
