Do you know “R&D” stands for?????

I gave multiple R&D links, and you still argue about it.

Then you make the ridiculous statement that Microsoft has enormous R&D. They do not other than Windows 10.

Oh and the Cloud is not an original project from Microsoft. It's being done by Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.

Sorry.... SMH

LOL!

So, what do you think "R&D" does stand for? Fact is that, MS spends more in R&D than Google and Apple combined. Microsoft is not just a devices company, nor just a software company. MS is now into devices and OSes and applications software, and gaming systems, and search, and services, including online and offline services. It's in the smartphone devices and apps business, and into tablets and PCs and gaming systems. MS is the only company that is "producing" hybrid devices, that are tablets and PCs at the same time. Google doesn't do that, and neither does Apple. To get where MS is at, Google would have to spend about $100 billion dollars in the next few years, and so would Apple. But, since Apple is doing okay with their one-trick pony, they're not about to "sacrifice" their stash of money, and Google can't afford to spend that kind of money. Google is stagnant in growth, and they've actually gone backwards in earnings. Nope! Sorry! Google is not being as productive as you imagine. Apple is productive, but only within its loyal consumer base, and their number of projects is, basically, one, that being the iPhone. That's not R&D; that's stagnation, or failure to launch.
