cheryl: you got it. MSFT is very vulnerable (irrespective of past accomplishments). They are now competing with pure knowledge horsepower unnlike any battle they have had before. If we truly live in the Golden Age of knowledge, it is very easy to see who the winner will be. If on the other hand, we live in the era of marketing BS, then knowledgeable information workers will all have to suffer. This isn't religious, it is the collision of two business philosophies, i.e. knowlege-based versus bullshit-based. Neither can escape the momentum of the business practices they have endeared themselves to. It is not religious it is philosophical and it is very important. For if we truly are in the era of pure marketing with little regard for quality our technological progress will most definitely be constrained in the future. I tend to believe the "efficient" knowledge-based philosophy will ultimately prevail.
