You clearly can't remember very far back. Barely more than a decade ago Microsoft was widely accepted as the largest 600 pound gorilla in the industry, with its future cemented to the floor with almost universal reliance by most governments and businesses on the Windows ecosystem. Microsoft Office dominated education and small business. Enterprise and vertical software was almost exclusively built as Windows binaries. Its market position seemed impossible to budge.

But let's be clear, their "crisis" is one of future relevance; it's certainly not existential.
