Is Microsoft's endgame just prolonging their own death for as long as they can?

Is Microsoft's endgame just prolonging their own death for as long as they can?

They seem like they haven't changed at all in the past 15 years and they're just holding onto their past markets and strategies even though they don't work and pretending they'll stay on top even though they're gradually sinking.

They provide nothing that other OSs don't do better except for software exclusivity and gaming. iOS is better for netbook tier dumb use, same with Android, both of which have a growing pool of software and game potential, and Linux is better for any serious computer/desktop user or server. What do they even provide? It's like they only continue to exist due to dependence on them for the software developed for their OS and partnerships with distributors to run their OS on their hardware, and even then they cut their chance to transfer into the mobile market and increase their survival.

Do they even have any kind of future plan going forward or are they just perpetually desperately trying to maintain what they have?

Wrong.

They've shifted from providing an OS as a platform to providing the platform as a service instead. Azure was a game changer for Microsoft.

>Azure
Who?

>works as a workstation/server hardware solution provider
I'm pretty new to this market but from what I see from the assembly line in my current workplace we pump out at least 50 windows workstation/servers daily, doesn't seem like a dying business.

Unironically their plan revolves around MS Office Suite licensees and corporate Office 365 clients.

What is other bets in Google pie chart?

>Alphabet
Isn't that a bit skewed since it's including Google's mothercompany rather than Google itself?

Google pay taxing, taxing sold apps on play store.

>all it takes to kill google is popularizing adblockers
why aren't (You) doing anything to stop Google?

>not using adnauseam

Useless trash which can trigger malware.

Microshit is all about keeping MS Office the standard. As long as people think they need it and nothing can compete with it, they'll be just fine.
They're even transitioning from offline licenses to subscriptions, which will rake in even more money.

Microsoft is actually doing quite well.

No it won't

>prolonging their own death
This is what freetards ACTUALLY think

Microsoft isn't in the OS market, they are in the enterprise and IT tools market. They provide consulting, enterprise IT solutions (Office365 and Outlook), the .NET framework, Windows Server, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and much more. Something like a quarter of all enterprise software development is done using a 75% Microsoft stack.

>microsoft
>only sells desktop operating system

oh boy, im not the one whos going to bust your bubble
