The Slow Decay Of The Microsoft Consumer

62009797001_66854922001_vs-66851521001Five years ago, Microsoft reported revenue of $14.398 billion. They reported a profit of $6.589 billion. Last week, for the same quarter, Microsoft's revenue was $17.407 billion. Their profit was $6.374 billion. The company is still growing, but not fast. And they're actually making less money. Compare that with Apple. Five years ago, revenue was $7.1 billion. Profit was $1.0 billion ? the first quarter with a billion dollar profit in company history. Last quarter, the company reported $47 billion in revenue. And they recorded $13 billion in profit. On the surface, an apples-to-oranges comparison, perhaps. But it points to something that has happened. Apple has completely taken over the consumer market, while most of Microsoft's growth these days comes from the enterprise side of things. Apple has destroyed Microsoft as a consumer technology company.
