- rbanffy 13y agoIndeed. Enterprise is where Microsoft has the most traction, and benefits most inertia and lock-in. It faces competition from SaaS companies, but that's an unavoidable transition Microsoft will have to make.
- rossjudson 13y agoOffice 365 seems to be doing very well. In that case, it's the SaaS companies that should be deeply afraid of Microsoft. As a total offering (consisting of cloud components and PC-based components) it's pretty hard to beat. Running O365 on Azure has probably substantially improved the platform. I can't see why Microsoft would take the slightest interest in the mobile software world of 100,000 different $1 crapware products. There's no money in it. Rovio is one of the most successful mobile developers there is, with annual income of $150 million, across pretty much every mobile platform. They're great at it. $150 million isn't even visible next to Microsoft's $60 billion yearly income.
- soDotNet 13y agoI think MS had disregard the enterprise/line of business apps a long time ago. There is no talk about WPF. It's all about apps and mobile. HTML5/JS and not a lot of xaml. I can't find a article or blog about WPF that is written after 2011. What's the future of WPF? What's the road map?
