It's a crazy world where a company like microsoft with almost 100000 employees and $58 billion on yearly revenue is dying. Whereas something like Twitter which may have just become profitable with about 150 employees is the future.

I guess it depends how you define dying, dying as in no longer being the most influential player in all of computing, probably. Dying as in a failing business with in eventually go bankrupt or sell, not a chance from where I'm sitting.

Same crazy world where Lotus and Novell died despite massive revenues and lots of employees (if you consider number of employees as a measure of success).

Same crazy world where GM had to receive government support in order not to fail.

There is no mercy for those who make things the market doesn't want.
