In a recent article in PC World, Microsoft's dominance in the computer world is questioned. Eight years ago, Microsoft was declared a monopoly by Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson of the U.S. District Court of Washington, D.C. Although Microsoft is still in legal combat in Europe, the company has lost some of its edge. Why? Microsoft can blame the Internet and their inability to adapt to the Internet. Companies such as Google and Apple are hanging tens on the wave of Web 2.0, but Microsoft is still out trying to catch the wave. So far, .Net, the Live concept, Web TV, Internet appliances, and more has not worked for Microsoft. However, as long as Microsoft has Windows, it will still be a dominant power in the computer world, right? Not necessarily. Long-term, however, the greater threat to Windows' continued dominance is probably the Internet itself. As so much of our work--sorting through e-mail; finding information; organizing our lives; creating documents, spreadsheets, and other files--migrates online, the Internet becomes in effect everyone's operating system. What makes any particular PC that you happen to be sitting in front of run becomes less and less important. One of the greatest contributors in the Information Age is now being hurt by the age's very lifeblood, the Internet. Time will only tell if Microsoft becomes eupeptic again or starves in the Internet world.
