Microsoft will go the way of newspapers in 10-15 years
Pros: Amazing portfolio of businesses and product that if actually stitched into a seamless ecosystem could truly benefit people's lives. Some smart people in pockets but not many of them  great at politics so marginalized
Cons: Top heavy for sure - with people who mastered the old Microsoft - why take risks when heir is only downside. Sandbag and protect your $1+ million a year as a middle manager.. but this will be the death of Microsoft- these people don't take risks and spend too much time managing their careers instead of their customers needs. The rate of change is insufficient to catch web-born companies like GOOG & AMZN.. it's just a matter of time before the lights go out.
