Which direction you consider Microsoft is taking? Personally, all I see them doing is the same thing they have been doing for 2 decades: milk their legacy cow. I don't really see big changes in direction. They have Windows Phone? Yes, but that's hardly new, they had Windows Mobile and CE for ages. Windows Surface? Sure, but again, not new, they are just catching up with the market. The most innovative thing I've seen Microsoft release was the XBox - and even then, it was the next logical step after predicting the death of PC gaming. They released it to keep their DirectX/.NET lock-in.
