Hmm - where have I heard that long-term strategy before? Oh yeah, Apple...
I'm not about to bash Microsoft - I've been using the MS OS since the days of DOS. But they are late to the game of integration, and when they finally brought a product to market with Surface, there was nothing revolutionary about it.
They have a lot of catching up to do right now, and lots of folks are abandoning MS for greener pastures. The Nokia deal is a step in the right direction, IMHO. Will be interesting to see how they are working on improving the OS and bringing a better integrated experience to the consumer. On the other hand, they could be the beginning of the end for the technology giant that pioneered the consumer computer market.
