[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] Microsoft will remain strong in the average office, where employers would rather avoid any special employee training for "nonstandard" products such as Linux (and where they get a good sized discount for buying Microsoft products in bulk). Microsoft also has contracts with various government agencies. My coworkers and I would rather use anything but Microsoft Word (that thrice-cursed, bug-ridden pile of...), but we are not allowed to use any other word processing program on our government-owned computers. As for Apple posing a greater threat than ever: first, my college roommate kept telling me that same thing almost ten years ago and it just didn't materialize, and second, I just can't see the average company paying for both Microsoft and Apple operating systems as well as training their employees to use both. As long as most companies rely on simple databases and word processing, Microsoft will continue to dominate the market. Vista may be garbage, but XP is actually pretty good. I think it's more likely that Microsoft will simply dump Vista (like they did ME) and push a new XP-like OS before Apple's seven year old OS X is widely adopted, no matter how good OS X is.
