Even if the company stops producing Windows and other products, it will still be living in the background. Microsoft will never be dead.

M$ is looking better than a year or so ago. Their business models have been changing, they have a new outlook on things. Whether that will result in new products (read better) will be known later. Now as far as Apple is concerned there is no question to the fact that they are doing somethings right. I agree to the double standards claim above. Why all the ruckus when M$ does some competitive stuff? All said and done M$ looks rearing to go and the other players who thought they could sideline M$ just cause they were big and not flexible better watch out! @AJ: Why does it look like we’ve been through this road already.

Apple has always been the stepchild that was never given a fair shake in most peoples minds, so therefore, give them a pass on any criticism. Arpit, you are one of the few exceptions that I have seen recently criticize Apple. I'm not a fan of Vista. I've seen it work and I've seen a lot of problems occur because of it. It's flashy and new, but other than that it isn't extremely exciting. But that doesn't mean we should toss Microsoft under the bus. The have done some exciting things in the past year like you mentioned. My bigger complaint with Microsoft is the cost for their products. Office 2007 is superior to most office products, but to get the full benefit you have to pay as much as a cheap desktop per computer to have it installed. What we have to remember is that these companies are just that companies. In the end if they don't turn a profit on their products in some way they will cease to exist and in turn the good goes away with the bad. I've had lots of good things to say about Google's open source and internet based solutions and probably will continue to say good things, but even they are beginning to charge for some of their products (ie. their applications packages).

But as you've said, choosing to follow a business is a bad idea. Operating Systems are just tools for doing a job. microsoft is doing exciting things. the whole flap over the vista laptops was pretty ridiculous.
