It's funny that a company can be so lost while there are so many technology folks and enthusiast that are clearly laying out the solutions for them. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens to this company over the next 10 years.

Except that those "solutions" might not necessarily work either. I had even read on HN people arguing that the solution would be MS to fork android (something that we had seen already) or just stay still and don't do anything (again we had seen that before too)

The way I see it, MS started to get lost once they "accomplished" their mission "computer on every desk". At that point they were just like "Now.. what?".
