Consumers can easily see alternatives to MS products are better. It's only a matter of time; MS lost that contest.
They are now resigned to use bogus patents to get a piece of the future they will not otherwise be a part of. The alternatives to their ridiculous continous upgrade path are more functional, easy enough to use and more cost effective.
When we manage to show this to business market, MS is in big trouble. Cost effectiveness and ease of deployment and use. MS can be beaten on these fronts. And they will be. In time.
