Microsoft is overtaken by who exactly?
In desktop & laptop Windows still holds a 87% market share.
- innocenat 6y agoBack then Windows is >90% of all consumer computing devices. Right now it's 87% of just desktop & laptop.
- nightcracker 6y agoI don't think it's a fair comparison. Microsoft still dominates the exact same market they did before (desktop & laptop), with roughly the same market share. What you're describing is a new market bundled with the old market. "Consumer computing devices" is such a vague market. If you study markets at such a big scope something like Texas Instruments wouldn't even make a blip while if you're paying more careful attention you'll find they absolutely dominate the scientific calculator market.

- crispyporkbites 6y agoMicrosoft are an absolute beast, their revenue is diversified across so many areas in b2c and b2b, and they are selling real products / services that solve problems that people actually need and pay for. Contrast that with fb/google who are selling ad space for others to buy to fill with actual products, it’s clear who’s driving real value. I would bet that MS will outlast all the other tech giants by a long way.
- avh02 6y agoI'm by no means Google's biggest fan but this definitely misrepresents things it offers such as gsuite
- crispyporkbites 6y agoMost orgs switch to MS once they get over a few hundred users. G suite has 6 million paying customers, Microsoft office has over a billion users.
- avh02 6y agoI'd say that still provides value to those that aren't over a few hundred users. (edit/sidenote: along with SSO - my org has thousands of users.)
