To be fair I don't see corporate America throwing out their PCs running Windows any time soon. Another thing with Microsoft is that they're brilliant at being the underdog, and add to that they tend to get it right after a few versions (Windows 3 anybody?). I also wouldn't bet on Google, Samsung and Apple to always get it right — so I wouldn't write off Microsoft just yet. Lastly one thing that Microsoft does well: They value their developers.

"Windows 7 sold more 600 million copies in under three years. That is, on average, over 200 million additional potential customers every year. No other platform offer this."<p>This is wrong. Android should ship to 500 million <i>new</i> devices in the next 12 months alone: <a href="http://www.phonearena.com/news/500-million-Android-devices-activated-around-the-world_id34344" rel="nofollow">http://www.phonearena.com/news/500-million-Android-devices-a...</a> If you are a developer who wants to focus on the fastest growing platform, Android is the one, not Windows 8.
