And so it begins
"Analysts expect Microsoft to retain the great majority of its Office customers as it
adjusts its product development to the Web and open source, even as competitors
try to siphon off its Office revenue."

Yeah right "Analysts" say so;-)

MS make 100% of it's profits from windows and Office. The only area of significant
revenue growth is in server (abusing their desktop monopoly) but the EC will see
true competition return to this market. The margins on both are significant. MS
competitors will significantly affect MS future profitability by targeting these
products. Of the two Office suit is the easiest.

Office suite also determine the practicality of alternate desktop OSes, which will
damage the windows monopoly.

All looking good, MS paid for analysts return head to sand:-)
