The article completely6 ignores the fact the Microsoft is not primarily a consumer-focused company like Apple, Google, etc., but rather one that sells to businesses. It will be a long time before Microsoft is pushed out of that world.

I’m not saying it can’t happen, but the writer doesn’t even mention the much larger business services Microsoft currently has a lock on.

Which must be why Microsoft spends tens of billions on advertising W10 and their surface products on TV exclusively aimed at consumers. You can’t turn on a sports show of any kind with out their products showing up everywhere all the time.

On the other hand, for all practical purposes, Microsoft has abandoned their bread and butter enterprise and business customers, completely ignoring them. Windows 8 is a cell-phone operating system and was completely ignored by the enterprise and business, and Windows 10 is actually worse for the enterprise and business than Windows 8, with its forced upgrades that are by policy completely a mystery, its complete spyware nature, and its being turned into a peer-to-peer server, pushing those very same updates onto the computers of your neighbors and competitors. Not to mention, there’s not a single new thing in Windows 10 actually useful for the enterprise and businesses: all the new things in W10 are aimed at consumers.

Like Windows 8, Windows 10 will not be picked up by the enterprise and businesses.
