They have been highly regarded on Wall Street because of their financial results, not the quality of their product. Financially, Microsoft has been a big perennial winner. When something like that happens, it doesn't get questioned much. It just gets supported and becomes the next big company.
For all of MS' success, it has had more failure. It can't seem to generate a profit outside of the high margin software space, and, as they're arguing at Motley Fool, that's going away. Microsoft is huge, and in being huge it lost its agility. It doesn't seem to be getting any serious traction with its Xbox 360, which is worrying for a company that desperately needs to diversify.
