Microsoft Vs The
Future
Although Microsoft is still a huge company, many of
its more recent endeavours haven’t been quite as
successful as they could have been. Has it left it too
long to make changes or has its decline reached
terminal velocity? Mark Pickavance examines where
modern computing’s major force is headed, and
whether it can retain its power and influence

Trends In Hardware

wood effect panels and computers were horizontal,
grey boxes? No? Well we do... Indeed, we’ve been
