Yeah.. those were other times though... when MS used to crush their rivals by using its monopoly as an advantage. Remember when people used to use Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect and Harvard Graphics?

However, today is way different. Developing in Windows is not sexy anymore. Young developers prefer a Mac or a Linux box over Windows, and young windows programmers are seen as substandard developers. All those are insulting stereotypes of course, but are the stereotypes that Microsoft have to deal with unlike the old days.

I just going to grab some popcorn and see what happens :)
