There were tablets running windows way before Ipad or Android tablets were released. They discontinued Zune because they saw other opportunties that would be better suited for them. No question Ipods dominate the market, but if MS really saw something there they would have continued to pursue the market. They remained in the console market dominated by Sony, Windows Phones are still here even though Android and iOS dominate the market, and the release of the Surface tablets where Google and Apple are the dominate players. Let's not forget the search engine market that is dominated by google. |
Microsoft leaves any place they cannot dominate.The name Apple is a threat to everything they stand for and Sonys existence with a multimedia console threatened them is more ways than one, which is why they joined in the first place. They like to dominate markets, but luckily they are becoming so unfocused they are diluting their efforts. Its pissing off shareholders. :)
