Microsoft is hell-bent on market domination, it's just they're failing to capture emerging markets. Their attempt at creating tablets, smartphones, music players, etc have all flopped. Yet each attempt all have the traits of classic EEE.
Getting office on the iPad isn't an example of Microsoft fighting for relevance, it's an example of them ensuring market domination at the office.

What? Given the amount of Windows 8 devices being released, its nowhere close to being flopped. I wonder what your opinion would then be about Firefox and Ubuntu OS.
- pippy 13y agoSorry, I should have written 'new markets', not emerging markets. While Windows 8 is successful, its surface range haven't grabbed significant marketshare from Apple/Android. Windows 8 in comparison to 7/XP has been a monumental failure however, forcing 8.1 to backtrack to a more classic desktop.
- sliverstorm 13y agoThey have done a pretty bang-up job of capturing the video game market. Ok, sure, they are not totally dominating but they went from zero to neck-and-neck with Sony in, what, 1.5 console cycles?
