[The question is the application companies can not achieve the goal since the OS is controlled by Microsoft.] Since MSFT applications also lead on the Macintosh where they have no advantage over other application vendors, the answer must be that they know how to build winning applications. I think those of you looking for dramatic leadership changes if MSFTs applications and systems groups are split are in for a big disappointment. Much of MSFTs advantage at this point is their hard-earned reputation for delivering the goods. Customers believe them when they say they will ship a useful product, improve it over time, and offer workable upgrade paths...and that is EXACTLY what the deep pockets customers want. MSFT is headed much higher long term. (This spell checked preview is very nice. SI's doing a nice job of improving the sites usability)
