I said that their long term strategy is
failing, not that they did not turn a
profit. They just don't seem to have a
working plan to stay relevant for the
long haul. They still make money, and they
still find new stuff to do for profit,
but when the old Windows and Office cows
stop milking, they will have serious problems.
Windows Phone is a dud, Windows 8 seems
to be dumbed down to suit tablets which
people are not going to want but be a
dog of a UI on desktops and laptops,
which people are therefore not going to
want with Windows 8 on them. The XBox 720
(or whatever it is going to be called) is
delayed further and won't appear in 2012,
their search engine is still bad and
impopular - the list goes on.
Microsoft's current strategy is going
nowhere. Literally. They seem to have
made it their strategy to go nowhere.
Going nowhere is not the same as "not
going anywhere", as in standing still.
They are leaving for some place they
seem to think is neat, but nobody wants
to follow them there, because there is
no "there" there.
