Most players in the tech industry realized that Microsoft is on a downward spiral, but some analysts believed that the giant company may not be as dead as it seems. The company will not be collapsing anytime soon, they assured.

However, one thing is for sure. Windows is no longer the end-all and be-all of personal computing. The shift to mobile transferred the power to those who adapted quickly, such as Samsung, Facebook, and Apple. Microsoft remained to be a vulnerable firm despite the efforts to restructure the company.

In the past, where desktop computing reigned supreme, Microsoft sat at the throne scoffing at any rival that would challenge it. The company's domination over the market share ended just last year, when Apple and Google changed the game with the iOS and the Android.

Analysts believe that Microsoft will be able to bounce back only if the company revitalizes its community engagement. The company is capable of delivering the greatest technologies, but terrible internal decisions kept the former king of the industry from extending its reign.
