If this article was renamed, "Microsoft Potentially Faces New Challenges and more Intense Competition in the Upcoming Future," then, sure. But "Microsoft is Dead?" Give me a break. How can the most profitable and recognized software company on the planet be "dead?"

Could it be stagnant? Yeah; I suppose. Maybe it is stagnant. Or maybe you're just so caught up in your "hip" counter-culture $2,000 iMac lifestyle that you are blinded to the plain facts. The facts, like, that 99% of businesses and developers EXCLUSIVELY use Windows. And 99% of all homes. And 90% of all students. I don't understand how any company with around 90% of the entire marketshare could be considered dead.

You made some good points but ultimately this whole "essay," is just off-base hogwash for Apple fanboys.
