To be fair, the company has always been playing "catch up", and have succeeded doing so by being "good enough", consolidation of many technologies, marketing, aquisitions and shady deals. Just more of the same in that respect.
Nokia lacked a good OS which was hurting it, windows mobile wasnt bad, if you dont mind scrolling through huge lists and tiles that all look the same, lack of teamviewer and tradeinterceptor killed it for me, not checked if TV came later. Dont understand how msft are surviving, they've given Win10 away, no body appears to be buying Metro apps, office is there only valid software and cloud based office365 is just aweful, its like going back to 1991.
I don't know what's the point of their acquisitions, they acquire a company and then do nothing to somehow help this company to grow, they just make it a satellite which then goes belly up in a couple of years.
That's a valid point, and the worst part is that in all this chaos they manage to buy some crap-companies for the extreme sums of money.
