Well, M$ has two money makers... Windows and Office. Vista has not been embraced by the world very well, at all, neither has Office 2007. Bad news for M$. Especially with the incredibly rapid growth of Linux in business and the desktop, a system which they CANNOT stop through their typical strong-arm ways of old, and OpenOffice/StarOffice gaining strength (especially with the recent addition of StarOffice in the free Google productivity software package!) is a major blow to their Office endeavours. And with the XBox series being more of a burnden than a benefit to their bottom line.. I can see the once mighty M$ folding within a few years... if not folding, changing their business ways a LOT. Look at the facts... A few years ago, would you have ever seen computer makers like HP or DELL not doing what M$ demanded? Not selling the new Windows "exclusively" as microsoft demands, or directly going against them buy supporting or selling Linux on their machines? That would have been unheard of back in the days when M$ controlled all of the cards. The times... they are a changing! GOOD! About freakin' time.
