I preface this by saying as previously that I love MS on the desktop. But in what way do you perceive Microsoft as a company that's 'going up the ladder'?

Balmer looks like he's on the way out this year.
Windows 7 is a well finished product so I'm not sure what appetite there will be for Windows 8.
Ditto MS Office products - why go from 2007 to 2010 let alone anything beyond that?
WP7 is a turkey currently - I've seen more N900s in people's hands than WP7s - what does that tell you?
The stock price is currently 10% lower than it was entering 2010 (compared with Apple's gain of 68% and Google's gain a modest + 2% but at least in the right direction)


The only thing they have that's going well at the moment is the xbox and Kinnect.

If that's a company on the up to you then no wonder you're so upbeat about Nokia's future.
