True. But remember, IBM as well as most other SW and HW companies depend on Microsoft as they are held hostage by its monopoly.
Also remember that many banks and funds have large stakes in Microsoft. They dont want to see it evaporate. Hence you see the flood of FUDs from many "analysts" and "market researchers" recently.
We both know that linux can take over most of what everyday users need. But it is not by far all about the quality of the code or happy users. It is mainly about money and influence.

Yeah right... how about this: "In hell customers are confident we take their money. They know that they will get their blue screens, viruses, warms, spyware, endless boot times and so much more."
