2023: The Year Microsoft Raced Towards Zero (But the Stock Did Not, It's Like the Cusp of a Ponzi Scheme)
2023 was a terrible year for Microsoft. The mass layoffs and shutdown of whole offices and divisions mostly got ignored by the media, or simply drowned out by sheer noise about chatbot/chaffbot nonsense. Bing got nothing out of it, only lots more layoffs this year.
When it comes to the hard figures, not buzzwords, it looks rather daunting.
Noted before was the MX situation:
Postfix, which we've just mentioned, was at 35% of last month (this month it's 38%). Microsoft fell from around 25% to 0.19%. It's similar with Web server figuress, albeit there we're not yet seeing Microsoft down to 0.2%. It's about 2% this month or last month. In devices Microsoft fell below 1% (more products got killed off for good) and in operating systems in general it is a total catastrophe for Windows. Many OEMs go with Android these days. In Nigeria, Africa's largest population, Windows is down to 5% or 6% this month.
On what basis did Indian press say this week that Microsoft is worth "$2.78 trillion" (link omitted)? Fraud Street? When the stock belatedly collapses the inside traders will be first to get out. All this "HEY HI" (AI) "market leader" storytelling relies on the false supposition that the future is all chatbots, chatbots are in fact intelligent (they are not), and Microsoft is somehow "ahead". Microsoft is falling behind in every market segment, including servers ("clown computing") where it literally defrauds shareholders. █
