As 10-to-20 million Americans dump Windows and switch to other platforms over the next couple of years, Microsoft will shift their marketing focus to China and other "emerging" and "developing" countries.
More than ever, Microsoft needs Commies, and Commies need Microsoft.

Dream on.
Microsoft sold more desktop Windows licenses last year than ever before.
When the results for the December quarter are released, Microsoft will probably have had a record desktop Windows revenues for any quarter (just going by Intel's record revenues reported yesterday).
Microsoft is as strong as ever, if not more more.

China may be ruled by the Communist Party, but is China's economy "communist"? Nope.
Some parts of China like Shanghai are more free enterprise than even eastern parts of Germany today.
