Now on another note..what was the last "revolutionary" thing M$ has done? (don't say Natal or those touch desks)

Just releasing Chrome OS by this summer doesn't mean that will hurt microsoft alot. There is so much that needs to be in place in order for that to happen. Right off the bat, all the hardware drivers for printers, cameras, scanners, you name it need to be ready, and also the necessary apps need to be in place... Even if ready by this summer, I still don't see Chrome a big threat to Windows right now. (again, how long has Linux been around??). I mean, who knows. You could be absolutely right and Chrome OS takes over... but I still think Windows still has legs, even in the low end market.
As for Microsoft being "revolutionary"... they have never been a company that has been revolutionary or innovative. That really has been the big knock on them for the past decade. But that certainly doesn't prevent them from making money.
Anyways, just a difference in opinion. It doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.
But in general, we both agree that Microsoft has fallen badly in the mobile arena. And I don't think they'll get it back.
