The Tech Boom Will Keep On Rocking

Microsoft Waning

David Kirkpatrick

Corporate computer users are getting access to more and more software through Web browsers. That reduces the importance of the operating system.

Alternatives to Windows--especially a free version of the Unix operating system called Linux--are generating more enthusiasm than ever.

In other words, while Microsoft remains a formidable engine, its technologies aren't the ones exciting the market. Those are coming from companies such as Sun Microsystems and America Online--companies many observers expected Microsoft to crush. Says new-product watcher David Coursey: "There's no guarantee that when the next big thing comes along, Microsoft will have a position. They have the weight of an installed base to protect, which was IBM's problem."
