Microsoft earns 3 BILLION dollars each year from Windows licenses to corporate accounts at huge companies that will not be changing their IT infrastructure any time soon. The amount of easy recurring revenue they generate each year from clients nobody else is even competing to take over will give them all the capital they need to fail as many times as it takes before they finally get it right.
Adapting is easier when you have 3 Billion a year in profit locked up before the game starts.
