I've never understood why MS just doesn't stick to the boring stuff that they're somewhat good at.Jay Yarrow, businessinsider.com:
Almost one year ago today, we laid out the nightmare scenario for Microsoft (MSFT) that could lead to its business collapsing. After laying it all out, we concluded, "Fortunately for Microsoft, none of this is going to happen."
We were wrong.
A lot changed in the last year. Microsoft's nightmare scenario is actually starting to take hold. We're revisiting our slideshow from last year to see how things have played out.

No way businesses start switching over their computers to Macs. I just don't see companies taking on that added cost.
this article is too panicky and exaggerates.
microsoft is going to be fine being third in phones, their impact will probably be better overseas.
office will come out for tablets and they'll get peoples money from there, people will buy their software as an app.
true, but I doubt they are upgrading to 8 either.
This too. I don't see the point. 7 works just fine.
I can tell you a good chunk of companies definitely switched the berries to iPhones and quite a few has gotten on board the iPad gravy train... You can criticize Apple for a lot of things, but their dev tools and programs for enterprises are top notch
I have never been happier with a Microsoft OS than I am with Windows 7. No need for me to upgrade what so ever. And I have a Hacintosh so I get the best of both worlds.
Moving from RIM devices to ipones is nothing like moving from windows to macs, IMO.
I don't either. Of course, similar things were said about IBM's market dominance as well.
I'm sure IBM's/PC's pricepoint was nowhere near Apple's. Haven't looked it up but I'm pretty positive it's nowhere close.
And I agree, but iPads have been eating right into the PC market and obviously the iPhone is the top selling product Apple has... so, in a way, they're making a dent in the enterprise market through different areas.
But are iPads eating into the enterprise PC market? As a side note, many of the scientists I work with are using Macs which is somewhat surprising to me.
Sure, they're replacing many old web-based terminals with on-the-go customized apps.
This is an article from last year, but it illustrates a bit what i was talking about:

Personally, we've even been contacted to subcontract developing iOS stuff from defense contractors. Can't go into details and eventually it didn't pan out for us, but a lot of these devices, especially iPads, are slowly crawling and entrenching themselves in markets you didn't think Apple would be in a few years ago.
Dell wanted MS to change tablet branding:
