Microsoft unveils reorganization..

The market is becomming saturated, Its amazing how they expect the boom times just to continue on and on. That really goes for everything, not just computers and phones.

Guys, Windows Phone and Microsoft are not dead by any means. Windows Phone holds like 4-5% marketshare in the US and its claimed by many of you that its doomed to fail, yet Apple owns like 5% of PC's and Google Chrome probably doesn't even have more than 3% at this point. So why is it we love to say they are failing when they have actually seen year over year growth and an initial app store growth with comparisons to Apples? I'd like to think that within 5 years Windows Phones will have at least 10-15% marketshare for phones, and my bets are that if Nokia doesn't gain the marketshare they want by 2016 (when MS-Nokia deal ends) they will sell their handset business to MS who will build their own phone anyways.

NO ONE said MS is dead.. They are very late to the mobile game though, and that WILL be a problem..The mobile market is the future, not PC's....

Anyway today MS cut the price of the Surface 30%... That's not a sign things are rosy..

In the 1st quarter of 2013 BOTH the RT and Pro Surfaces combined didn't ship 1 million tablets.. That's less then 2% of the market..

Again unless Google and/or Apple take a big mis-step MS is going to have trouble breaking into the mobile market..
