I disagree.....
MSFT is moving from a near monopoly that it had with PC's to a more contested arena, where it's anybody's game, which implies that MSFT will have a much harder time with mobile than it did with PC's. Just sayin.
Also, MSFT is falling behind with its market cap, amount in dollars of its stock price. Last year microsoft was worth more than google, but as of today, google is worth 10% more by measure of its market cap. I predict that as google gets to be worth 50, 75 and 100% more than MSFT, that MSFT will have an increasingly hard time competing with mobile. Keep in mind that MSFT has always enjoyed the advantage of size and bulk over its competitors, but once you remove that it makes for a greater level of difficulty.
