[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] Linux is entering the desktop market, too. Firefox is eating IE, OpenOffice is eating Office. I don't know about crashing and burning, but I don't think MS will survive as we know it - at least if I'm not totally stupid and/or reading the signs wrong. I think the open source ethic will become powerful enough that monopolies like MS simply can't function without changing their business attitude. Plus, MS charges huge prices for licenses and doesn't offer much in the way of support, but the market for support is pretty strong these days, and most other companies are charging most of the money in that area rather than for licenses. So I think MS will change, at least in goals and practices, before another 10 or 20 years are out. In other words, gradual shift over a long time, yes, but crash and burn, I don't think so.
