> Were they resting on their laurels thinking they had won the market? Absolutely. Microsoft has totally stagnated, and only now are they going "oh crap..." and realizing that the market has moved on. Nobody thinks of Microsoft products as being truly innovative or groundbreaking. It's an unfortunate consequence/abuse of the clout that they've had in the technology space in the past few decades. Grow too big for your own good and blanket the marketplace with mediocre products.
