Is Microsoft Mortal?
from the looking-at-the-landscape dept
News.com is running a series of articles about whether or not Microsoft is "mortal", which points out all the strategic and competitive risks they are suddenly facing. The first piece came out today and is (not surprisingly) talking about Microsoft's sudden admission that open source software really is a threat.
