Microsoft is Dead 19 years ago

Couldn't agree more. This subject has in fact been in my mind since I switched to using Mac OS X. One would only have to look at Windows Vista to realise just how much MS has fallen behind. After years of development, hypes, numerous delays and billions of dollars spent, all it could come up with is a product that devoids of any innovation. What a disappointment. Curiously, MS has further shot itself in the foot by releasing so many versions of the OS and confused its loyal users in the process. A case in point, it has abandoned "Pay For Sure" music copy protection, leaving its loyal partners and users in the lurch. It goes to show just how deperate MS has been trying to catch up (let alone compete) with its competitors. Would the company disappear tomorrow ? No, Is the company dying ? Yes. Is it the beginning of the end ? Yes.
