"...along with a final wave goodbye.
There comes a point at which corporate hubris causes a fall,
and we may be seeing the beginning of that collapse."

As it was clearly stated in the article,they try to "re-write" history.
But unfortunately for them,History does NOT repeat itself in the way they would want to.
I also thought they might have had a few chances of getting the upper hand again,
say when I first saw technologies like .NET,
or advertisements regarding SP2's DEP.
But now,I'm completely convinced that the countdown has started,
without even the need of people recognizing it and rejecting in a loud manner MS products...
Babel is falling...
