It is just amazing to me how poorly MS misjudged the market.

It sure does appear that way.

At least for MSFT as a stock investment, I remember (years ago)
about how MSFT was a good stock because "it always under-promises,
then OVER-delivers".

Sounds like those were the "good old days" of Microsoft as
a stock and a maker of operating systems.

The one thing that it coincides with, which I don’t believe it is meaningful, though maybe it is, I don’t know, but Bill Gates is divesting himself of all his stock to put into some charitable foundation, or something.

So, right at the same time Bill Gates decides to do that, MS releases their worst OS upgrade ever.

It strikes me as interesting but I don’t think it is meaningful.
