    Yes. But the whole point is that MSFT will become a diminished player as they grow (a lot) less than the other players who are already their size.

    The problem is that Apple makes more than that off just the iPhone.

    And, given projected growth, iPad will be making more than that by itself too.

    Yeah, MSFT is doing better, but much less better than everyone else. Hence the problem described in TFA.

    Yes, they both spend too much.

    But Republicans want to spend on wars in foreign countries.
