I'm not hoping for MS to die. I'd love to have some competition on the market and I'd love them to show some amazing products that inspire everyone. That being said the writing was on the wall. Microsoft is blindsided by two cash cows and they're not willing to reinvent themselves. Microsoft has Windows and Office that make them money. Everything else is secondary and helped them control that market. It's a Napoleonic approach to business (read Bill Gates' biography to understand that). How Microsoft made its initial money was by undercutting everyone and selling a licence for their first OS to IBM so Big Blue had to spend less money per machine sold. It worked so well that MS became the richest and most powerful high tech company. Now the open source community releases powerful office suites for free, Apple releases an amazing office suite for 1/5th of the price of MS Office and Google releases something essentially free that works online! When everyone else is moving ahead... it's hard to have anything to say that is positive about the stubborn MS.
