Now I’m not saying that MS’s lunch will never be eaten by somebody else, all giants can be toppled. I’m just saying it’s going to take a lot more than what are basically the same stories I’ve been reading for 20 years for me to believe that their lunch is going to be eaten SOON. If you’re an old fart like me you’ve read probably thousands of “Mac is so much better than Windows, MS is doomed” stories, almost as many as you read about how solar power is about to really take off.

There is a lot of economic inertia that has to be overcome with Microsoft before it really becomes vulnerable. An 1200 foot long oil tanker cannot stop on a dime. However, there are a lot of factors slowing the S.S. Microsoft... many internal and some external.

Been hearing that for over a decade, and yet the SS MS keeps on trucking.
