Microsoft is in the process of changing its CEO. As a tech giant that led the PC era, none of us are unfamiliar with the Windows system, but clearly Microsoft's future cannot rely solely on Windows.

From the chart below showing Microsoft's revenue composition, we can see that Microsoft's Windows business has stopped growing, while the businesses with good growth momentum come from Office and the services&tools sector.

We all know that in the mobile operating system market, Microsoft is currently facing significant development challenges, as the market has been almost entirely divided between Google's Android and Apple's iOS. Microsoft's advantage in PC operating systems has been almost completely lost in the mobile space. Furthermore, Microsoft's dominant position in the Office business software and servers&tools fields is difficult to extend into the mobile operating system sector.

The future trend of Microsoft is a topic that interests all of us greatly.
