The article itself is a load of FUD.

It's funny how articles like these appear like mushrooms after the rain whenever one of the following things happens:

- an open source project which can "lower" the sales of Microsoft's products is launched

- a new commercial product is launched and it might lower Microsoft's sales

- an application / product gains enough traction to threaten Microsoft's position in some market

- Microsoft's products become less relevant to the needs of the people & the companies

- people talk about issues with Microsoft's products - try to saturate all the websites and news feeds with counter-offensive articles against the competition

- IE / Bing / etc lose market & people migrate to other browsers and search engines

I've seen this happen with Android, Linux, open source database software, Open Office, web servers and others.
