I mentioned Microsoft because they were at the top. How did Windows 8 go? From all the delayed orders for Windows 7 I keep seeing in shops, how do you think Windows 10 is going to go? Here's another example - how many people do you know a) use a Microsoft phone as their primary driver and b) actually love the experience and c) aren't waiting for their contract to expire so they can jump ship to Android/iOS?

They are slowly becoming irrelevant, more so as we move further online and our machines turn into simple dumb terminals.
