Yeah, I'd say they're big and I'm not sure if they're trying to "turn themselves around." They're making money hand over fist, mostly from the enterprise end of things and Windows/Office licensing. Of course, they are doing poorly in the mobile arena, but that doesn't mean they're in financial straits.
- serge2k 12y agoThey are absolutely trying to turn themselves around. They have burnt a ton of bridges and lost a lot of battles.
- throwawaymsft 12y agoHardly in financial straits, but becoming strategically irrelevant to the future of computing (like IBM -- huge, and ignorable).
- aroman 12y agoI really really do not think that IBM is "becoming strategically irrelevant to the future of computing". Maybe the IBM of the early 1990s, but not the IBM of the mid 2010's. Watson and its related technologies are practically synonymous with the future of computing, in my mind.
- throwawaymsft 12y agoGood call, I'd forgotten Watson -- but I think you caught the idea of what a big and ignorable company could be.
