Ne da mi se pisati jer su ljudi već to dobro komentirali, npr.

I think the picture you painted is far too grim. Actually, you paint too rosy a picture of where Microsoft has taken us today. Much of the chaos you describe is exactly what is wrong with Microsoft today. Abandoning legacy support, inconsistent interfaces, vendors in search of a leader. Microsoft has already abandon the Win23 API. WPF, WCF, .Net, SharePoint services; that's the future for Microsoft. Unfortunately, SharePoint has been a moving target, so you've already faced a conversion or two there. IE6 is a mistake that continues to haunt Microsoft. Existing standards bodies, IEEE, ANSI, W3C, etc., have done a more credible job of maintaining backward compatibility and promoting growth than Microsoft has. User interface has never been a strong point for Microsoft. I remember when the first version of Office was being talked about. I thought, good, now Word and Excel will act the same way. Wrong! Apple has maintained their Human Interface Guidelines since day one. The consistent look and feel of Mac applications is based on a solid foundation. OS X didn't change that, it extended it. Hardware vendors are not looking for leadership from Microsoft. Microsoft's definition of a netbook has not been well received. CES showed a lot of netbooks running Linux rather than Windows. And the smartbooks, based on ARM chips, won't run Windows. Smartphone vendors are moving away from Windows Mobile. The reality is, Microsoft isn't going away anytime soon. I think Microsoft is becoming less important, at least in the consumer space. And Microsoft is aware of that. They are adopting open standards and are providing less proprietary solutions than at anytime in their history. If we are all striving to support a common set of standards, it will be a much better world.
