Re: Is there any hope for Microsoft ?

Nor does he really address the underlying causes: MS really has no vested

dominant market power, their vested interest is in lock-in--making sure that
developers /cannot/ pick and chose.

And of course, even more than that, MS's vested interest in developers is in
making sure they support the MS OS and application stack, and the best way
to do that is to tightly couple all the technologies. What other company
could afford to take a market the size of VB6 and just tell them to get with
the program or go home?

Indeed, a very insightful post.
