Microsoft is successful when they are early at something. Coming many years after iOS and Android. Microsoft now is successful because of cloud and working with cooperations. Not because they made the best OS. Their Microsoft Mobile wasn't very impressive. And their second attempt was ok, but very late. The were gifted a monopoly by IBM so they constant fuckups that cost them many millions or billions of $ couldn't kill them off like it could other companies. Taking full advantage of a monopoly isn't the same as being actually good. The beat their office competitors by leveraging their OS monopoly with very cheap bundling deals. They spun the OS monopoly into a 3D interface near-monopoly that made games only work on their platform. The list goes on.
