| kowenicki said: Not unsurprising really as Microsoft has more than doubled its revenues over the last ten years and its earnings have more than quadrupled over the same period. So you have to wonder why the stock hasn't increased earlier and by even more. Doom. |
Well, Microsoft has forever refused to do this bc it would decrease dependence on Windows, and indirectly services like Bing, Outlook, IE, etc. But since Windows doesn't have the universal visibility that it used to experience, Microsoft has wisely just given up and saved the product that has a bigger place in its future as a enterprise centric company.
If you wanted to view this in a negative way, you could say tha t Microsoft sees Windows as going downhill, and is making the best decicion given that inevitability.
