underestimating MS strength is dangerous, very dangerous, since they are the biggest driving force behind companies which rely on their products to function. Should never count them out of the equation, they might just pop up and take a large market share, and become the market leader before you know it. It happened before, it will happen again.

If you want to see in action what billions of dollars can do, look at the XBOX and XBOX 360; it was never a core business of Microsoft, they poured millions into that sector, and now are one of the dominating forces behind console gaming.

All hardware for PC is made Microsoft compatibility in mind. GFX, CPU, Mobo, etc.

Their next Office version will have online interaction, millions of people will use it, they will get instant market share no matter if the software is good or bad. That's their power and it should not be neglected just because they are not on the verge of technology in one sector.
