Does it?

Where and why?

You DO know that most of MS has been massively restructured in the last 9 months, right?

In fact, MS is FAMOUS for continually morphing and reorganizing to drive efficiencies. They don't always get it right, and the current financial climate has helped them make really tough decisions (closing entire divisions and having to make long-time, highly competent, highly valued staff redundant is NEVER fun) but a leaner, more focussed Microsoft is emerging.

Just look at Win7 & Server 2008 R2 (essentially Win7 server): It's BY FAR the best OS MS have ever shipped.

This has now set the standard for the entire company. It'll take a few years for the current changes to be fully felt (most of MS' products take 2-3 years between releases), but those changes have/are happening.

If MS manage to improve many of their already wildly successful products by a similar degree, the rest of the world had better wake up and start preparing for a real fight.
