Most of the people who view this site are very technically smart. This unfortunally seperates most from reality.
Reality Check People like microsoft,people like microsoft products. I don't most tech's don't but the people I work with and take classes with do. It's pretty simple to use,easier to set up then ANY other OS(i'm a mac user) doesn't crash much under "normal" use
they also play the same games as any other business everyone tries to use their status to disuade competators from installing competing products sometimes sweeting the deal. Comanies buy other companies with cool/threatening technology. Microsoft is to big to play those games the same way.
Microsoft will continue to dominate.Big smart corporations were burned by micrsoft when it was smaller then them. ahem IBM cough. Microsoft is smart,resourceful and powerful.
The ruling against microsoft will be minimal. It won't be broken up or even severly restricted. Judge Jackson doesn't like them the court case was sloppy and poorly excuted but he seems to be reasonible. Microsoft will be restriced from certain pratices. That's it. The OS won't be open sourced, no notice to stop bundling explorer, still gonna make office. With some cash on top.
