Erik Aston said: MS figured out an amazing business model to both create the market for and gain a monopoly of PC OSs. But they haven't demonstrated any ability to repeatedly create new market space like these other companies have.

Actually Erik,

                       Microsoft stumbled upon the model. They didn't design the initial model then put it into action. They had something more valuable than being good; Luck.

This is why I feel MS is having a hard time recapturing their success. They had a lot of luck fall their way, and for the most part they have just been able to keep their monology. It has expanded as computers have expanded.

But not because of MS's sheer veracity; unless you count them killing off small time competition.
