M$ will continue with desperate measures to try and hold on to its
monopoly. Its business model is now faltering because most people and
businesses just need XP as a platform to run applications. Therefore
they now have nothing new to sell. Vista was a disaster and Windows 7
will not make up for this. Linux has played a part in this, but the
reality is M$ is to blame and Linux will continue to benefit and
increase its market share. Bill Gates did a Tony Blair; he both got out
while the going was good ;-)
