I wasn't taking pot shots at you but some of the stuff you find on the web is so laughable. When they try an come up with new phrases like consumer compute then say Microsoft needs to recover again is laughable somehow because of windows 8 Microsoft has gone down hill. Microsoft is a software company and they do produce some phones and have a very small market share, but did they include sales of xbox and game software. Please, they are doing fine.
