I think that Microsoft has first grown to become a "monopoly". this has been done by killing (or buying or copying) concurrency and by providing software that were cheap or trivial to copy. In a second phase, they have been able to make a lot of profit by forcing people to buy their products. They are still in this phase and a lot of concurrency has appeared. If Microsoft does not want to die, I think they should stop these huge profits and kill again the concurrency by selling cheap software, easy to copy. The version of Office and windows that is sold to particular is a striped down version. The full experience of what could be Microsoft product is only available in enterprise versions. I think people are fed up of being considered as second class citizen or like sheep. If Microsoft gives the whole software (with all languages), for a small price, there would be less motivation to go to concurrency.
