Microsoft's Mobile Misfortune

MS is easily distracted. They've been late for three parties:

Browsers.
Search n' Cloud.
Mobile

I think their late arrival in mobile will underscore their inability to innovate and mark the beginning of a steady decline.

NT was an incomplete copy of UNIX, (read Show Stopper) Zune is an uninspired copy of the iPod.

Nobody has ever used a significant percentage of the features MS forced us to buy in overpriced Office. Office isn't a must-have anymore - alternatives are aplenty. Windows is far less important than it was ten years ago.

If someone developed serious competition for Exchange MS would really be up against the ropes.
