This would be a major launching pad for Microsft? Thanks. I don’t know if actual weakened economy would push enterprises from on-premise computing to accessing services over the cloud computing.

It's interesting to see the corporate image of MSFT evolved over the years and see if 'techies' would rather choose MSFT (giant machine) vs other creative and innovative players...

Anyways, most of the practices was unclear, that MSFT was abusing its monopoly. Enough time has passed since the litigation occurred. Now competitive conditions have improved, I think it's normal that this results in many new entrants, therefore will decrease profitability. I certainly agree that MSFT will have to deploy time and money in order to stay in the game!!! Looking forward the series!!!! A few years ago, Microsoft had a monopoly in personal computer.
