I wouldn't feel too bad for them, they spent 15+ years just riding the easy Windows + Office desktop gravy train. the fact that they're releasing all these updated versions of products means to me that they see a sustainable future in them. I don't actually think Surface is such an unknown/underappreciated product these days anyhow since I see more and more of them at work now.
for MS, being the hunter rather than the hunted looks good on them. it's taken a long time to shed the image of that fat lazy corporation that Google and Apple are acquiring now. they might not make 2 freaking Hollywood movies in the span of 2 years about Satya Nadella, but maybe for the future of their products it's better that way.
