Where Has Microsoft's Growth Gone?

Because of its long history, IBM has gone through a lot more economic ups and downs than Microsoft. IBM, to compete with Microsoft and to continuously evolve itself into a new company that has the capability of adapting itself to ever changing economic environment, extensively invested in software development for businesses, and its earnings are getting superb as recent earnings releases show. Microsoft, on the contrary, was so complacent with its market share in software of Windows and Office and did not invest extensively for the future like IBM.

It seems like hardware maker can make software but software maker cannot make hardware. I don't think Microsoft has the capacity to make super computers that IBM makes. Maybe, it is time for Microsoft to develop super computers to compete with IBM. But, it can't, to be sorry.
