To be honest I think Microsoft has had its day and unless they do something truly unique and cutting edge then I think they will just start to loose more and more business and market control.
I will say that I think this is a good thing as it will give other operating systems a proper fighting chance. Microsoft have been at the top with too much of a gap for far too long.
I will say though that Bill Gates is quite the genius to have created a company that have had product that have done so well for so long, and in a way it is a shame that he now has to watch his company slowly crumble away.

"Microsoft had its day" Don't think so, they will be around for a long time.
