Subject: Microsoft on it's last leg?

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Almost one year ago today, we laid out the nightmare scenario for Microsoft (MSFT) that could lead to its business collapsing. After laying it all out, we concluded, "Fortunately for Microsoft, none of this is going to happen."

We were wrong.


All that I can say is, damn. It's hard to imagine the world without Microsoft, given all that they've done, and to think that within the next decade we might be without it is even stranger.

Anyone who thinks MS is going to go out of business needs their head examined.

Hell, they probably have enough cash to buy all of Apple's net assets. MS is sitting on a mountain of moolah.

So Win8 isn't making that huge of a splash. Same thing happened with Vista and they're still here.

What a nonsensical article. It was basically based on:

"LOLOL WINDOWS GOING DOWN"
"TAKES EVERYTHING WIHT IT!!"

As if it was some form of inevitable unstoppable chain reaction. People have been saying that about Microsoft for years.

That, and the fact that Microsoft is pretty much the only platform maker who is actually making a profit, Sony is struggling with the PS3 sector and the WiiU is probably going to be a disaster for Nintendo. To think the Xbox is a sign of Microsoft's decline is nonsense.

This is my logic. If they could survive Vista, they can survive anything.

lol @ phaggots thinking Microsoft, a company that is making huge profits is going to go bankrupt.



Windows 8 is extremely successful you idiots

I already PMd a mod about Rose. This is getting out of hand

OT: I doubt MS is at its end

  • 12.09.2012 7:16 PM PDT

A lot of that is very wrong. First, Windows 8 has just come out, so it'll need time. Windows Phone sales were up a ton since Windows Phone 8 came out. And for the Xbox? That sold 700K units on black Friday, the brand new Wii U sold 400K and the PS3 sold around 500K. MS isn't going anywhere.

This.

When I saw that they said MS' enterprise software division would fall because Office has some competition, I lol'd. Enterprise is huge for MS, and the companies using their systems can't switch to something else on a dime. That costs millions in setup and re-training and months worth of time.

  • 12.09.2012 7:18 PM PDT

lol, this is so much bull-blam!-.

Either way, all MS has to do it wait it out. Soon people will stop buying overpriced Apple products that are re-released every year with a new name and pretty much the same specs.

The Xbox's success should be noted as pocket change for Microsoft. Although a few extra hundred million sounds great, its very small compared to Microsoft's yearly profits outside the video game industry.

Also, your point on Sony and Nintendo being irrelevant is pretty far from the truth.

All I got out of that was that Microsoft Office still seems to be a necessity.
