Hell, I’m gonna open a popcorn concession stand!
Of course, nobody is killing Microsoft because nobody plays as well in Microsoft’s prime space, the enterprise. MS simply has to learn the hard lesson that Ballmer never learned, that you can’t own every single market.
Does the author know how many times Microsoft has been declared dead and buried already?
Last report I saw the debacle was outselling the Apple Macbook Air...
> Apple claimed 25% of the U.S. desktop OS market during the September quarter.
Says who? I haven’t hears any such thing, and it would be huge news...
these liberals are idiots . cause competition and the free market is killing Microsoft . the only way a monopoly can be created is by government . Apple and Google made better products so that's the way to kill a near monopoly.
A “double debacle” according to the author, who never explained what he meant by it.
Can’t wait for Windows 10
Got a 7750 radion graphic card hooked it up to my $380.00 39” Seiki TV using it right now as my monitor.
So tell me more about what the red fruit would cost me for this rig?
Forgot to state that this TV/Monitor is 4K
It’s all about your money...Just wait till Windows 78 comes out...It’ll have all the cool stuff you want and need.
From my recent experiences, it seems more like Microsoft is committing suicide.
Meanwhile Microsoft has windows on 91% of the worlds computers and apple has it’s OS on about 7%. Linux is 3rd with about one or two percent. Google isn’t even listed. Handheld devices are not the only things that are used to do work and play!
The only company that can kill Microsoft is Microsoft. I doubt they are that stupid, unless they hire Ballmer back.
If they would leave the stuff that works alone and concentrate on the parts that don’t work...
Can I be honest?
I’m looking forward to the day when my cool high end bells whistles intrusive “smart phone” is replaced with a dumb phone....It breaks or gets any more obnoxiously intrusive, it’s gone.
Very much looking forward to that.
It’s a stupid article. Unless Apple fags come up even with a substitute for MS Office for example, MS will still be king in it’s court. Apple and Google have their own niche and so does MS.
You’re not making any sense at all. Explain please?
Their smart technology will eventually hit the wall and only the fatcorp lackeys and gofers will be required to have one, to keep um on a short leash...Pager boys...

If 6.4 million MacBook Airs sounds unimpressive for a full year’s sales, put it in perspective: Gartner estimates that only 22 million premium ultramobiles were sold in all of 2013. That gives Apple nearly 30 percent of this fast-growing market, which Gartner forecasts to grow by roughly 50 percent this year and more than 70 percent in 2015.I estimate that Apple sold roughly 6.4 million MacBook Airs in its 2013 fiscal year, compared to about 6 million MacBook Pros. (I based that calculation on two variables: First, I estimated that portables made up 76 percent of all Mac sales in 2013. Second, I estimated an average selling price of $1,050 for MacBook Airs and $1,500 for MacBook Pros.)
