I don't understand. It's stock performance has been as good or better than those competitors in the very short term. Are you talking all-time? Microsoft crushes those companies. And IBM crushes it.

Over the long-run, right up until today, Microsoft has been and will continue to be a wealth generating machine, albeit in a competitive market.
