It is squeezed between UMPCs running Linux or low-cost XP (a commodity product today) on the bottom, Apple on the top and Google and other service providers in-between. They have dropped the ball by trying to make Vista, an OS designed for business, work in the consumer market. Unfortunately for Microsoft businesses are not keen on Vista either. If not for their server products they would be in serious trouble. Can IBM's (oops, I mean Microsoft's) dominance of the business market place continue or will they become irrelevant there as well?
