How many failures did we predict for Facebook and Google and only god knows how many other companies. There is at least one every week for Facebook. Windows & Microsoft aren't going anywhere. At least not any time in this decade.

- vibrunazo 14y agoThe death of the PC has been talked about for many years as well. What makes it different this time is that it's microsoft themselves admitting it, and planing their next move with this in mind. There's this show called Windows Weekly in the TWIT network [1]. They often (always?) have microsoft employees as guests to the show. And if you watch the show, you'll see they'll clearly admit that microsoft is sure the PC era is ending for real this time. They know very well the company must change, a lot, what they do to keep themselves alive. You might argue that they'll succeed in their new strategies. But you sure cannot say that everything is fine and there's nothing to change, or to be alarmed of. Not even microsoft would agree with that.

- jrajav 14y agoThey certainly won't go away, no, but I think there's enough to indicate that Microsoft could lose some of its presence in the personal computing space.
