there are a lot of these assumptions on MS everyday and all i see are people trying to predict the downfall of MS in order to get famous. tablet that, PC this, yada yada...

if MS is really going down the cliff why is it that they are still making billions NOW?! nobody's going to use a tablet in the office typing their 10 page report...

The same exact predictions have been made constantly for at least a decade. Meanwhile, their sales are up 150%, their profit is up 200%, and Windows is no longer a required business for the company to survive.

I'm sure they'll have lots of problems going forward. I'm not aware of many companies that don't - what 40 year old technology companies don't have problems? Given that only a few of those exist today, and even less large-scale 40 year old tech companies exist, I'd say Microsoft is doing just fine.
