Bob, that means the dragon needs powerful friends in the future to forestall such an occurrence. It will make their market wither if NT and Win9x converge to a single OS in the year 2000+. At that point their market =0, unless they are very good, and then they will get a small market.
Does the dragon have a presence in the medical field for the complex OR/med office systems? That might be it's survival niche as too big a program in the OS will become cumbersome.

Does the dragon have any 'dictate-action' software for external control?, where you issue a command for, say the temperature to be increased to 88 degrees C, in the water heater in a house, or some such external control interface? I hear that Intel and MSFT are at work on such a convergence....but I cannot recall where I read it.
