Microsoft "Forgot"

It's simply amazing that after the great browser wars of a few years ago,
where Gate$ went on a crusade against Netscape, that today he admits "the
company messed up when it forgot to release new versions of Internet
Explorer"! Is it possible that Microsoft could *forget* such an important
thing because its primary concern is maximizing profits before serving its
customers? Or was it just so caught up in expanding its empire into all
other facets of our lives with "Windoze everywhere"? Maybe its memory is
fading just because of old age? Whatever the answer is, we can be certain
that non-thinking Wintards will just push this aside and excuse this lapse
of memory as they line up for the next and greatest release of the Fista
operating system.

Yes, you certainly are, as you self proclaim, a Wintard - harassing a
community of Windows users.

Actually, he/she has a point, and not just at the of her/his head.

That people have moved, in large numbers (millions), to non-MS browsers,
is the beginning of the end for MS's software dominance. The more
people that get used to using and trusting open source software, the
more MS will have to compete, innovate to keep what customers remain.
That may not be whats best for MS's bottom line, but that is what is
best for consumers.

MS didn't forget, it gambled that it keep its customers without any real
improvements in IE. In the long run, it is the gamble that is driving
the nails into the coffin of MS's software dominance, more so the any
gov't interventions could.
