<<Perhaps MSFT could give up Windows & NT desktop to the public and retain NT server for sale on PC & non-PC devices.>> Microsoft makes something like 40% of their revenue from the sale of NT and Windows. You're asking them to just give that up? You're talking about billions of dollars. So by extension of your logic, the penalty for having the skill/good fortune to achieve ubiquity in a market is having to give it away for free. The more I read stuff like this, the more I hope that Microsoft fights this thing and wins, or ties it up long enough to make it even more irrelevant than it already is.
