Microsoft needs to capture its place in the tablet/smartphone market fast because we are heading to the post pc era.

It's just weird how hard a time they're having succeeding in these markets. The products are good, the marketing is there.....so what is the problem? Too much competition?

Depends on what you define "good".  Microsoft generally releases products that are pretty much in beta and have consumers pay for them to cover costs.  It normally takes Microsoft a few tries to get it right because of it.  So they're not going to have a tablet/phone that's right in a bit (Windows Phones should be doing better, but Microsoft is marketing them poorly).  Microsoft is poorly run company and if they didn't have their monoply on PC OS' they would have been out of business a while ago.  Get Balmer out of the company and put a man with a vision in charge and I'm sure Microsoft can become the biggest company in the world again.

You wish!
