The Tide is Changing
For a few years now, MS have been losing their grip as people begin to realise more and more that reasonable alternatives exist to their software.
Alternatives which, in some cases, are cheaper and/or more reliable.
With windows 7/phone 7, it's encouraging to see that they are realising they need to up their game if they want customers to stick around but I wonder if they can or will change quickly enough to keep pace with the competition.
Only time will tell but they certainly can't dictate the standards like they used to.
