Being a pessimist and having watched national flag ship companies sail
close to the wind for 30 years my bet is microsoft will fail in the
market but the US/European/Asian taxpayer will prop them up with
exemptions from normal anti competitive legislation combined with
American courts fining countries/regions unilateraly and probably
secretly for all the pirate software that obviously "destroys their
profitability ". Currently they would not be allowed to fail because
they are the monopoly provider of business infra structure and any
change would severely affect profitability in all sectors. look at y2k
and the funding pumped in to sort out their previous f*ck*p.
Hopefully those courts won't find linux/bsd/etc to provide unfair
competition due to the uncharged work invested in them and banned.
