MS are a huge company, I can't see them going into administration.
No - but I can see them whirling themselves into oblivion.
MS are like any huge company - they spread themselves over loads of bases, and ensure that they have profitable bases that subsidise the areas that make huge losses, in particular R&D, which is given the attitude "throw money at it in the hope it works".
MS are forecast to be given a huge kick in the balls - in sales, profits and revenue. They've let themselves grow unchecked really. Apple are growing more powerful, and other alternatives are becoming more favourable.
Couple this with record fines from the EU for breaking competition rules, expect a decreased presence certainly here in Europe.
They probably won't disappear - just contract remarkably quickly and we can laugh at them.
