Aargh. Microsoft didn't become Microsoft because of cogs. Microsoft is DYING because of cogs.

How exactly is the $263 billion dollar market cap company that pays dividends and has $2 earnings per share with millions of customers dying? Slowed growth at that scale is an artifact of size relative to market potential. It doesn't mean the company is dying. Not even if you really dislike it.

I used to dislike it, but now I don't care. That's the "dying" part.

But you can just read Paul Graham - he's the thinker.
