Take the long view. Microsoft *wiil* die. No company, no technology stays dominant forever. big deal. one day the earth, the sun and the universe will also die. but neither the sun nor microsoft is going anywhere in the immediate future. If you're old enough, remember Ma Bell? If you read history, it's full of once dominant compaies and technologies that have fallen. Hell, just look at GM. Once a titan of industrial production, now a pathetc shell. was this supposed to prove something? so gm basically failed and so did a bunch of other companies. is this somehow proof that microsoft is also going to fail in the foreseeable future. since gm failed let's extrapolate this and declare that redhat, ibm and google are also destined to fail. |
