"Microsoft doesn’t have the chops, and anyway, they’re not paying attention. They’re foaming at the mouth over Google. And frankly, despite what they say about embracing the Web, the reality is, when it comes to all things Internet, the Borg still in “fight the tide” mode. Look at their euphoria over Windows 7 — that tells you all you need to know about how they view the world. They are the tech equivalent of the cable guys, still believing that they can protect their castles if they just keep digging bigger moats." - ivanandersson
