HTC may have little to lose. They are already dying as it is, even without Windows Phone. Their decline is hitting a new low and they are now losing money. How long can they live with or without MS?
Even having some of the best Android phones around has not saved them (HTC One).

Even having some of the best Android phones around has not saved them (HTC One). Do you have proof they are "dying"? Declining sales, yes. Dying, well, that depends on if they can stem the decline in sales. I tend to agree with you, I don't think that HtC's future is bright, but they are the largest Taiwanese mobile company, and the Taiwanese government could always decide they are a strategic necessity, and make them a state owned company.

"dying" was an exaggeration, but HTC has been on a downward slope for quite a while now and has not been able to change direction so far. They expect their first loss since going public in Q3 this year. Their plan to change cap is hazy at best. Their best phone (HTC One) is partly responsible for their margin problem (high cost to produce).
So, they are not in an immediate threat, but they have not shown any leadership or solution to stop their losses. They still have millions of cash on hand and are only starting to lose money, but this can only push back the threat if they do not act now.
