Old and tired now or coming out with the next Windows version that works?

Bill Gates was spot on with DOS, he got lucky for 15 years hence he became a Billionaire. He did well to get out of the company.

Would you buy shares in Microsoft at the moment?

in Microsoft? No, probably not. Buy low, sell high. They're already at the top of their game so I can't see them getting low enough to make it worth it.

Microsoft were top of the game in the 80s and 90s. The 00s has seen new guys on the block like Google. Apple are wiping the floor on mobile devices. Linux is breaking out of geekdom.

And what do Microsoft come up with, Bing.

But they're still commanding the OS market and Office applications market, so their stock price isn't going to drop enough to make it worthwhile for most people.

I think that is where Microsoft's strength lies in office applications, they are **** at Operating Systems. MS Word, MS Excel. I just wonder if they will go the way of WordPerfect and WordStar in a few years time.
 
It's quite interesting to here from a couple of pro Microsoft fans earlier in the thread but the really big question is would you invest in Microsoft at the moment, I mean not put your mum and dads pocket money into them, your hard earned own cash is what I'm on about.
 
Well I've ruffled a few feathers haven't I. Nice to see loads of Microsoft fans here who have never experienced a blue screen of death at least weekly.

I just wonder, their share price is now $28.73, pennies in the 80s and a steep climb up to 2000 when they were going for $50.00, dropped to $15.00 last year but have doubled since.

I for one wouldn't touch with them with a barge bole. IT is always ripe for a new kid on the block, and Microsoft are now practically a grandfather company.

digipeep you never answered last time when someone asked you, what OS do you run? It's a pretty important question really, and pretty easy to answer...

This thread and OP smacks of MS bashing, which just smacks of an OSX user as so many seem so bitter...

TBH I doubt there are many people who have experienced a a BSOD weekly, in fact I doubt there are many people who have experienced one in the last 6 months to a year (I know I haven't, i've experienced precisely two on my vista installs since it was released, which was around 3 years ago now?);)

Sorry I run Linux mainly but I have to work day to day with Microsoft OS's and as you probably have guessed I'm not a fan and for good reason, Microsoft are **** at making a decent operating system but are fabulous at trying to make you think they do. One too many blue screens of death I suppose.

And apart from my iPhone I've never had an Apple OS before. I'm actually a huge fan of Sequent Dynix, but alas that OS isn't available any more.
