It created the de facto official operating system for all personal computers and made its powerful suite of business applications, Office, into the dominant tool for business computing worldwide.

Even Apple, once all but waylaid by Microsoft, has come back to beat it in online music and video and consumer devices. Can the house of Gates recover—especially as Bill himself transitions to a supporting role?
