Based on some stuff I've read while on vacation, Microsoft's problem is that
all the talent runs away and only those who are money-obsessed (never mind
ability) actually stay on board. The real value is therefore moving elsewhere.
Windows and Office are legacy with lock-in, so they still bring in some cash.
Windows is a real 'piece of work', so it's a wonder it's still as prevalent as
it is. The EU will change this. I read the ruling and it seems like different
times are ahead.
