Although the different products innovated by Microsoft are used by many, it faces a lot of competition from open source products and others who are offering similar technologies.

Excellent interview. Microsoft tends to be discounted, literally and figuratively, bu there still an incredibly innovative company. This interview reminds of how they continue to produce great products.
