They can use their Billions for commercials and R&D..they're throwing money away. It's not hurting them either. They used to be successful. They're using "SUCCESS" money for FAILURE products. Windows 8 is terrible. Nokia phones are terrible. Especially the Lumias. Overpowered camera? It's a gimmick phone. Xbox One will sell because of the Xbox Name...but it'll become Microsoft's last big product. Did I mention that Windows 8 is a flop? Especially the commercials. Windows 7 is a good OS...but everyone will eventually switch to Ubuntu or Chrome OS by 2020. Microsoft will become even more irrelevant..just like they already are. No, they won't go out of business...they're too rich. Money and Power...that's all they are. |
So how do you think did they get the money? Right, they have extremely popular products.
So how do they increase their profit and revenue almost every year for the past 30 years? Right, because they have a steady flow of new and profitable products / technologies.
So how did they hire additional 50,000 employees over the last decade? Right, because they keep investing and building.
Your post is basically crying that you have no idea about business, but dislike MS.
And lol @ Ubuntu and Chromebooks. I have been hearing this since 1998.
Netbooks will kill Windows! Smartphones will kill Windows! Ubuntu will kill Windows! Tablets will kill Windows!
Fast forward to 2013:
"In its first week of monitoring worldwide usage of Google's Chrome OS, NetMarketShare reported that the percentage of web traffic from Chromebooks was roughly 2/100 of 1 percent, a figure too small to earn a place on its reports."

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
