The Foolish Bottom Line

Ever since the 1990s, it’s been popular to bash Microsoft due to its dominance of personal computing. Ever since Steve Ballmer took over in 2000, it became vogue to bash the hot-headed CEO who had a penchant for throwing chairs.

Although I still stand by my previous claim that Microsoft is primarily responsible for the precipitous decline of the PC industry over the past three years, I believe that Microsoft still has a chance to turn it around. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s recent weakness, Nokia’s growth, and Microsoft’s new commitment to creating a unified operating system could create a valuable opportunity for Microsoft to retake a part of the market that it helped create.
