How much longer can Microsoft keep behaving like this? You'd have to think their profits are going to start declining at some point in the near future, if they haven't already (I'm not up on consumer reports). At the very least they have to be worried about how many markets they had cornered that they've lost, or are failing to get into.
Personal computers? They still have the lion's share in offices, but the home base is dwindling
Gaming? Xbox never mounted a strong challenge to the PS2. 360 roared out of the gates but gap closed towards the end of this generation. Xbox One is looking like it could be a massive failure.
Phones, search engines, web browsers? LOL.
The only area in which they can say they still have the market cornered is MS Office products.
