It really is too bad that the conversation on Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT)
always seems to be dominated by what the company isn't. Bearish
analysts and investors hammer the company for its heavy reliance on PCs
and fault the company for letting Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) and Google (Nasdaq:GOOG)
build such a large lead in mobile operating systems, while also
complaining about the company's relatively weak online business and
below-average entertainment profitability.
Those are legitimate criticisms, but only to a point. It is not as
though smartphones and tablets have replaced PCs in the office
environment, nor are they likely to anytime soon. What's more, Microsoft
has a bigger (and faster-growing) presence in enterprise software than
is usually appreciated. Last- and by no means least, Microsoft remains
an exceptionally profitable company that generates exceptionally large
amounts of cash every year.
