Microsoft is a very large lumbering giant that seems to lack a cohesive vision forward, especially on the consumer front. Every single piece of consumer facing software lacks a cohesive design language, and seems to be regressing in usability. No one is truly primed to replace them yet in either the corporate or consumer businesses however, something like the MacBook Neo can certainly take a few points of market share away from the standard consumer

This is what happens when they get MBAs in charge. Same thing happened at Apple. The original guy with a vision in charge (Gates, Jobs) goes away and the company suffers for it.
