The Future Of Microsoft

coolcat50
There are several economic events that could happen with Microsoft as well as computer standards being changed significantly.

The economic standpoint of Vista will probably cause Microsoft to lose money.
  1. Most games do not work on Vista, but on XP. This causes Microsoft to lose a huge crowd.
  2. A lot of RAM is required to run Vista and it can bug up your system. Again, gamers will stay away from Vista. This also affects developers and programmers.

Other Economic Factors Toward Microsoft in General
  1. Open Source programs becoming abundant. We are seeing that most Microsoft products are becoming replaced by Open Source applications. Firefox, PHP, and C++ are a few examples. I do not know if C++ is open source, but it sure is free. This will cause Microsoft to heavily invest in it's operating system. If the system fails, Microsoft is dead.
  2. Linux and Macs becoming more abundant. I have noticed that a lot of people use Macs and Linux now. My school has Macs as the main computers when before they had PCs.
  3. Bill Gates being stupid. Yes, the lawsuit against Bill Gates certainly isn't helping Vista. Stupid move in my opinion.

Some computer standards are also ruining Microsoft. PHP, Apache, and MySQL are the most popular webservers and are extremely portable. ASP and VBScript are horrible because they really only work in Internet Explorer. This is very annoying.

Yes, I am dissing some of Microsoft's products, but they did have some cool stuff. I am a fan of XP and would choose it over most operating systems. Microsoft Word is great for projects. I can't say much for Notepad because I could make a better web application (Soon to be normal)

Well there are some of my thoughts on Microsoft.

Microsoft is here to stay. They may get a big chunk of their market share eaten away but they are always going to be a power house. Frankly, having a whole bunch of different OS and computer types may sound like a good idea, keep 'em all competative, but if one were to stand back and look at it, in ten years, say we have 5 different OS's and let's say hypothetically they all have equal market share, now think about all the programs and hardware, some of them work here, others there because developers are not going to pay to port to all five OS's. SO my personal opinion is that it's a good thing to have one OS that the majority of the computers run on or else the programming industry may hit a critical mass point where it's not economically feasable anymore because of a large number of OS's as you say will possibly end Microsoft. But there in lies the beauty of Open Source.

    regulation. In other areas, it has funded construction for thousands of miles of highway, improved
    the beauty and safety of the nation's roads, and recalled defective cars. It has salvaged

    the energy drive in the car it would use a sort of fusion to create a bunch of energy to power to
