More and more companies (the big ones!) are discovering OpenOffice and the suit
and tie army is increasingly seeing OpenOffice as chic - at least here in
Europe.
Once the dependence on MSOffice is gone, so is the need for MSWindows for the
rank and file to some extent.
So, yes, making their customers stay with the MSOffice franchise could be key to
rudderless Microsoft.
As an aside: if PCs were sold naked and customers had to buy Windows as a $70
option (make it an even $100 with installation), how many Windows licenses would
Microsoft really sell...?

It is curious to me why M$ continues to chase bright, shiny things. Do they
really think they can compete with Apple, Android, etc. on their own terms?
Could new management turn them around? Hint: we get new management inCongruous
every couple of years.
Linux & LibreOffice have a lot of potential in business applications, if
they can solve some of their problems.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
