Windows/Office cash cow is hardly going to collapse overnight, but the traditional PC is stagnant and MS has signally failed to break into the mobile market. It has been moderatly succesful with game consoles, but the previous incarnations of the Xbox weren't the coolest kids on the blocks and it doesn't seem like this one will be either. It has never been able to make products that were the jazziest deal around, so it seems possible that at some point they'll decide that focusing on the corporate market provides more growth opportunities.
    They don't need to "focus" on it. They have more than enough resources to go after both - which they do.

      It it just me, or has anyone else imagined "The Rains of Castamere" to be an upbeat song with Latin American sound, something inbetween songs by Julio Iglesias and "Cuban Pete", while reading the books? You know, Spanish guitar, marimbas...

          Microsoft Shakes Off PC Slump As Office And Servers Sales Swell

          While OEM Windows revenues were in line with the declines in the PC market, non-OEM revenues, which includes the sales of Surface tablet and commercial sale of Windows were up 40% and offset the decline in OEM sales.

            My company just bought SharePoint and will begin using it in the next couple of weeks. We had nothing remotely like it before hand.

            We were also encouraged to be weaned off of Office a few years back for open source alternatives. We're back on Office now.

            Microsoft will be fine.

                Thanks for illustrating my point.

                  I would assume its useful in acadamia as well.

                  I doubt your Aunt Doris would have any interest in it. But I doubt Microsoft made it for her.

                    I might get an Xbone just for the troll factor. Can you imagine being in a group voice chat and saying "XBOX OFF!"?

                      Why is that it is that it's taken as derisively when I say MS may eventually decide to give up the consumer market and focus on catering business? IBM was a great company before and is a great company after they went for the consumer with the PC. The corporate market doesn't get you coolness points but it's far less fickle.

                        you also can't overcharge for mediocre products in the corporate market and get away with it like you can with the consumer market. that's basically the only reason apple is still in business these days.

                          Exactly. IBM, Rolls-Royce, Siemens... they do some serious quality shizzle. I'm not familiar with SharePoint, but I'm happy to believe it's top notch software.

                            IBM and MS are not comparable. IBM was a company that focused on government and enterprise and dabbled in consumer products. Microsoft has done both since day one. IBM left the consumer products industry because they could not compete. MS can, and does, compete.

                              Actually, I'd argue it's far EASIER to overcharge for mediocre products in the corporate market.

                              Look at HP's EliteBooks and compare them to MacBook Pros. Far more money, slower, cheap, heavy, big. But they sell by the droves to businesses.

                                Just to be clear EliteBooks > MacBook Pros according to you. Right?
