in response to the OP it'll be a long time before Microsoft's lack of a competetive edge becomes a real issue , they are an integral part of the way we live and that's not going to change too soon.

 

Yes, but consider their profitable avenues: windows and Office.  If someone came up with an Office clone that was accepted by businesses, schools and people everywhere MS would be /completely/ vulnerable because they haven't found a way to make a profit anywhere else.
