> B) Windows, has too large of a corporate footprint to be going anywhere
anytime soon
_Using_ Windows does not necessarily generate revenue for MS. In order for the
'corporate footprint' to keep MS going it needs to continue to buy new licences
and support contracts. If these users decide that they never want Windows 8 or
Office 2012 then they may cancel the 'genuine disadvantage' and just keep using
XP and Win7 until something else turns up.

AOL to the others.
Look at WordPerfect. The company is (sadly) long dead and buried but the
software lives on.
Windows, MS SQL-Server, Exchange et al will live on. MS the company will be
heading for the knackers yard very soon. As Wayne has pointed out, the bulk of
MS's *income* is in a different jurisdiction to their *expenses*. If MS tries to
import the profits it needs into the US, the IRS will bankrupt them.
Big companies surprise the general public by going "boom" at regular
intervals. The insiders and industry watchers are decried as Cassandras even
when the inevitable future is staring the fanboys in the face.
