> If we were to pick a single moment in history that lead to their undoing

I always find these sorts of comments interesting.

Microsoft is a very different business than say other failures who you could point to a single event (Kodak, Word Perfect, Lotus Software, Myspace)

Remember, Microsoft have over $100 BILLION in cash[0].

You could perhaps cherry pick certain parts of the business. But I remember the stories of how they made more money from Android than Windows Phone[1].

Microsoft has a long, LONG way to fall before I would say they have failed.
