It boils down to this simple fact: in 90% of cases today, if you're developing an application meant to reach any sizable number of users, and you're not Microsoft, you're going to think, 'Wait, why wouldn't I develop this as a web appplication?' It's that simple. That blows MSFT's model out of the water. Win32 is an asset that is already becoming a liability. They know it too. This fact is supported by all of the billions and billions (and billions) of dollars of IPO money, of VC money, of MONEY going into businesses that are not writing to the M$ API. It's more than a fact. It's a tide. -JCJ

qwik, thanks for taking a serious stab at it. I fall back on one point and the crux of my case. In the new era, sun.com grew its PRODUCT revenue 17.5% year over year. nuff' said.
