actually, no. their grip on the market is slipping. they still have a major lead in the operating system, but google has made a free internet word-processor with full hyperlinking,web-text,dictionary,spellcheck and thesarous. and they are making spreadsheet and database programs too; and as you know they already had maps and encyclopedia, with graphing calcs that have built in variable and graphing functions.
so that gets rid of:
-Word
-Excell
-access
-Student
-Encarta
whos gonna pay $200 for the newest Microsoft office program when google has it freeo n the web?
Yahoo Aol and Myspace have taken their lead away from web chat years ago.
Firefox has made Internet explorer look like about as usefull as a Deisel VW-beetle
Xbox360 sales arent as stron as planned.
very few microsoft games are leading sucessfully right now
and as soon as a hardware company realizes that they can get a Prepietary operating system on their computer for free, rather than paying extra to microsoft for each PC sold, windows is gonna cost about 300$ extra with a new computer, putting a huge dent in sales.
