>> Rather than throw the Microsoft that is treading water a life preserver
I don’t quite understand that part. Microsoft has been doing very well lately, as evidenced by their latest earnings and the subsequent pop in their share price. What does he mean, “treading water”?
MS is doing very well in the desktop area.
Not so much in servers, or other Enterprise-class services/products.
Yes--their stock price has been doing well--but they've been leaning on the desktop product far too heavily.
That's her opinion, I believe. I haven't been following them enough to know.
