MS certainly has. Most obviously, they neglected InternetExplorer for years and are now playing catch up. Waiting years for Vista and then getting a flop is another. They are behind in cloud computing. Their search engine is a very distant third so they are really back in the pack with many little companies. I think much of their enterprise software is substandard. They make some nice mice, but they are not top drawer. XBox lost out to Wii. The Zune is a zune. Can you name something MS makes that is considered best quality in its category? I can't think of anything. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
