>>Do their competitors have any responsibility for the situation they find themselves in?<< Absolutely. Most all of Microsoft's competitors screwed up because they were "out to get Microsoft" instead on staying focused on doing great products. Borland - At one time a great company until they tried to grow too big too quick to compete with Microsoft. Novell - Same story as Borland. Great product but lost it when they decided to go after Microsoft. Lotus - Disliked Microsoft so much they went with OS/2. Cost them big time. Netscape - Instead of focusing on creating a great product for Windows, they spread themselves way too thin and declared war on Microsoft. Now lets take a quick look at the successes: Oracle - Extremely focused on databases. Intuit - Extremely focused on financial software. Gotta run.
