It’s not all over yet.

MSFT is the world’s best 2nd mover and can often make profits on ideas pioneered/launched by other companies before MSFT.

MSFT came late to the cloud party (2011? AWS launched in 2006 IIRC), still they became a big player there (~25% market share in 2025).

Yes they botched Mobile, but to me it looks like they are still in the AI game

(I personally prefer models from Google, Anthropic or OpenAI though).

Just say the quiet part out loud, Microsoft is such a large anti-competitive company they literally don't have to build competing products. Customers are not even going to evaluate other options because it will be bundled with their other mediocre services.

Microsoft's problem is they still make products. Meta creates $70 billion net profit per year and they don't create much and have minimal overhead.
