Microsoft needs to bring the "hype" back into their business.
Pros: Great market captivity in operating system division. Great growth demonstrated by entertainment division (Xbox). Financially very stable (sitting in a huge pile of cash). Lastly, finally they made a great and bold decision for retiring Steve. Stock market reacted positively with that! GREAT!!
Cons: need to innovate more especially in the mobile area (or future wearable device) - Microsoft share is insignificant compared to competitors. Nokia take over could be disastrous if it didn't revolutionize the way they do business. Stock price has been in sideways mode since last stock split in 2003. My take was, not enough innovation that affect significantly in the way we compute.
