I am not surprised who wrote this story at all. Kowenicki is Microsofts PR man? The slight increase is down to one thing Ballsup retiring, says much about the damage he has done to the company. They are being attacked from all angles. This man single handedly got the OS share for windows down from 95% to 20% (not desktop share before the fanboys complain, TOTAL OS share), laughed at the iphone as a non device, claimed Linux is a cancer which it now cant do anything against the openness of it. This man has thrown billions away in different markets (xbox, bing, windows phone) for very little gain. It is not surprising the investors in Microsoft wanted his head and are now making a line for Billy Boy Gates to leave the board too. The Office suite is being held up by a subscription model that they keep hiring the prices, they have alienated gamers, desktop users and programmers worldwide. All this article shows me is how their subscription model based on second rate software is on the verge of collapse. Would even a Microsoft fanboy have dreamt of Microsoft products being on other systems? The cellular division was, coveniently, hidden behind the trolling of patents with Android, their cellular makes nothing, zero. Their tablets are a flop, yes it is no wonder markets say sell and investors want heads

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. It is amazing how some fanboys are so resentful and full of spite they try to twist anything into a negative. Lets ignore the fact MS have massively grown market share and profit under balmer or that in the enterprise space they have become unbiqutious in much the way IBM used to be and are one of the leaders in the cloud space too. You can find negatives around any CEO or company, thankfully for MS the positives far outweigh the negatives.
