This article is from 3rd of April 2006, 06:07 GMT, and no, they have billions of dollars and are a pillar of the computer world, and with Windows 7 coming soon and being loved by many, MS is looking fine.

It doesn't take a genius to say no to the question of this topic. Decades from now ... you never know, but right now? You've got to be kidding me.

There's nothing on Microsoft recent reports that could possibly indicate that.

Microsoft is way too big to ever go bankrupt, they still have the OS market to fall back on.

MS has a Market Cap of $175 billion and they made $49 billion in gross profit last year. You have a link from 2006 speculating on some wild things that never happened.

If we can learn something from the state of the economy these days, is that Microsoft (and any other company) can bite the dust in a blink of an eye.

Dude, stop making all these fail fanboy/fakeboy (I can't tell which) threads. MS isn't going away, nor is the Xbox. Sorry, but thats the unfortunate truth for you.

The economy could harm or completely destroy a company like Microsoft, but we would have to be in a Super Depression a 100 times worse than the last one ad even then it would be a very slow process.

Well its a article from 06 if they didnt go bankrupt then i dont see it happening now. MS has plenty of money. If Sony can lose billions and be fine so can MS and that hasnt happened to them yet.

the article

:| You don't honestly think a three year old article, especially one written about the finances of a certain company, which can change dramatically in the scope of months, let alone years, has any credence today do you? Please say no.

Don't bother.

The original article was laughable to begin with. This was the premise of the original article:

The idea is rather simple. What would happen if Microsoft failed with all of its products, or almost all of them, that are scheduled for release and in a few years, companies like Google, Apple, or IBM would invade the increasingly lower market share of the Redmond giant until the company went into bankruptcy?

Think about that. The idea is rather simple....what would happen if everything produced by _______(insert any company name) failed and its competitors _________(insert any company names) would invade and takeover.

Gee, I dunno Sherlock....what would happen if everything failed? Well,, I guess failure would happen :)

Seriously, a three year old could form that argument.....better.

AIG was the biggest insurer in the world, way bigger than Microsoft as a company. What happened to them? Yeah.

It wasn't the economy, I can assure you of that.

Pay very close attention to that part of your statement I highlighted.

Specifically, the word beginning in "i".

Not really. Their highest world ranking was once 18th. MS has been in the top 10 for quite a time now.

I don't think AIG bit the dust in a milisecond as you previously suggested could potentially happen to corporations that are worth billions. MS shows absolutely no signs even suggesting bankruptcy now or in the near future as it still has huge sales numbers in nearly all it's current products.
