I think a lot of people want to see Microsoft have a few more failures - which is why you see so much "come on admit it" talk on the blogosphere. I have to say, I'm in that camp too.</p><p>I used to be a 'hater' - because I personally witnessed their representatives explaining how it was in their interest to undermine the competition through trade practices rather than innovation. However they are clearly doing a lot of good stuff too - certainly in programming languages, and their lab technologies, and it would be great to see this stuff get out into the world.</p><p>I'd love to see them be a real competitor. The problem is that they still have a gigantic market share and huge control over the computer industry in general. I think that if they start to achieve real success again, we'll be back to the place we were before - with another lost decade in terms of innovation.</p>RobinTue, 17 Feb 2009 11:58:01 -0000
