It's hard to know what will work before real consumers have had it in their hands for a while. Perceptions change with propinquity. Microsoft is one of the few

Microsoft is one of the few companies that literally define modern consumer computing. It makes me very happy every time I see them moving forward. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, they grow and fix it.
Apple has the same cycle, but it's less immediately apparent.
- lostlogin 13y agoFor me modern computing is defined by Apple and a bit by Google - I don't knowingly use a single Microsoft product (who hosts iCloud stuff - is is MS?). How does MS define modern computing - are you meaning in the last 10 years or now?
- computerslol 13y agoMicrosoft owns about 90% of the desktop market, 30%+ of the server market and 25%+ of active gaming consoles. Right now.
- lostlogin 13y agoIf you could exclude work computers, and include mobile ones (phones and tablets) that would look a bit different. Possible bias: My circle of friends and colleagues is obviously seriously skewed as MS is a small slice of the pie in my little world and that of those I know.
