People have been predicting the demise of Microsoft for going on twenty years now. Gets old frankly.

They are incredibly diversified. If anything, they themselves no longer see Windows as the crown jewel, which would explain more than a few HN gripes

People have been predicting "The Year of the Linux Desktop" forever now, too. Truth is, for some that'll never happen, and for others (like me) it happened many years ago.

Microsoft is more diversified than any of the other big tech companies, except for Amazon.
