you know there is this, gaming setups, casual entertaiment setups and the business setup.
gaming its pretty obvious, people would only play on the playstation.
entertaiment also, but casuals pretty much ran to netbooks that even come with linux like just announce chrome os from google.
microsoft been on a decline for a while on those segments.
in netbooks they are actually giving up windows xp for pennies since netbooks can't run vista, also linux pc are cheaper, but they areforcing retailers to get windows xp on them.
even creating fud that people are returning netbooks pc with linux.
Asus already said those claims are false and linux and windows xp returns are the same.
well good luck trying to do the same with google.
oh and the moment nintendo do a bit more powerful console with a bit more entertaiment features microsoft will go against them.
if microsoft it not succesful it will like still remain bigger due the monopoly they have,but with a small share of the pie.
they never been so weak, losing marketshare to apple and linux slowly but happening, and bleeding OS marketshare like crazy to firefox, chrome and safari.
