1. The iPad eats the consumer PC market.
Tablets, not the iPad, so MS did an OS that runs on tablets with ARM and x86 Architecture.2. Employees gradually switch away from using Windows PCs for work.
In advertising agencies maybe, but I don't know anyone who can choose it. Offices still have PCs.3. Windows 8 fails to stop the iPad.
So Windows 8 is a tablet?4. Loyal developers start to leave the Microsoft platform.
Source?5. Windows Phone gets no traction despite the Nokia deal and RIM's collapse.
Not as huge as iOS and Android now, but give it a try and lets see how the WP8s are doing, they are just out.6. Office loses relevance.
lol. (Everyone who tried alternatives is coming back.) Office has never been so good and relevant. Its almost more important than Windows to MSFT.7. Microsoft's other business applications start to erode.
Like?8. The platform business collapses.
Wut?9. The Xbox was never going to make up the slack, and Microsoft can no longer afford to keep investing in it.
In fact, Xbox is making profit. Kinect is highly accepted by developers and even industry applications are available.10. Microsoft suffers a huge quarterly loss. Ballmer retires to play golf.
The only thing that is true. Ballmer needs to be replaced.
