Microsoft has shifted focus from the laptop to the cloud. And they are most definitely gaining there. You're just measuring the wrong thing.

  Microsoft has no product for private cloud. You're sure about the measure?

    Microsoft have tons of tools for private cloud? Including the upcoming ability deploy the azure platform to your own machines.

      Tons of tools? Dare to mention any? Upcoming ability - any official announcements?

        Hyper-V + System Center + Azure Pack? Already available. Azure Stack? This is coming up. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/overview/azure-stack/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/overview/azure-stack/ Azure's focus is hybrid.

        These tons of tools yet to be released in September 2016 :)

        One major one is not yet available. There's still Hyper-V+ System Center, + Azure Pack which makes running your own private cloud relatively easy.

        The new shielded VM's feature of Hyper-V is far and away the coolest thing that's happened in virtualization in a while. Look into it. It's pretty freakin awesome.

I exclusively run Linux on my laptops and Microsoft is part of my work flow. Their web versions of Word, Excel, and OneDrive are 'good enough' and convenient to have. I never have to worry about working with a customer's Excel spreadsheets as a data source, etc.

Microsoft's cash cow is the Enterprise. They need to focus on Azure/cloud computing if they want to stay relevant.

I recently got a Surface Book. It's the best laptop I've ever seen, by a long way.
