This is a great summary of tech history and where Microsoft went wrong. If this one article could be sent back in time 15 years Bill Gates could have doubled his net worth by now. There's no doubt that Microsoft has lost the mobile platform and the value of Windows has declined. But still, I'm much more optimistic than Evans about the future value of Office - it's quite possible that in 30 years most enterprise businesses will still buy an Office subscription as standard. Just as Apple creams almost all smartphone profits despite a 15% market share, so Microsoft can get outsize profit for productivity apps by concentrating on enterprise businesses.
