That's an odd way of advocating hype over facts. And it's a bit of a stretch to pronounce Microsoft's decline if they're not #1 in a couple of trendy areas (cloud computing, smartphones).
Revenue and popularity are tails of trends. If you're looking at the bottom line you're looking at what was previously (possibly several years ago).
People pay a lot less attention to what MS does these days and people are even making new OSes these days. It wasn't so long ago that people were predicting that would never happen again.
