Microsoft Surface is Doomed, Steve Ballmer Should Be Fired

I don’t see a bright future for Microsoft’s Surface products. In fact, I don’t see any future for Surface. The market has spoken, and users are buying iOS and Android products hand over fist. Even in the enterprise, Apple is dominating in mobile devices, with Android not far behind.

Where does this leave Surface? Out in the cold, with no real chance of gaining market share now or in the future. Microsoft Surface is doomed.
