Microsoft Doomed - my answer to Lockergnome's question

I replied to this question
"Is Microsoft Doomed To Failure As Some Believe? I Seriously Doubt It"
on Lockergnome.
I want to see if my guess is good - time will tell.
Would also like feedback here to the question - what do you think?
Also want to see what others will post.

...Microsoft doomed to failure...?


I don’t think Microsoft is anywhere near doomed to failure!
There will always be room for improvement and Microsoft will have to continue working hard and smart to improve its products.
Windows and Office Rock.

I have my gripes - I would like to see the old start menu / explorer navigation as an option that we can choose - the new
Windows Explorer may be good for some - but would like to see user choice - yes more user choice - I believe that is important
and will let users, geeks and casual users alike know that they are being thought of and have a choice in things OS related.

Macs OS X may some day be a contender - it is not there yet but is growing in popularity - not sure about the iPad?
Does not hit a spot for me - no built in USB, multi tasking, or camera and microphone.
OS X still does not have the ease of use that Windows has.
I can get around in OS X, but not as easily as in Windows, even though I have used both OSes for years.
I love Windows ability to hit the home button in notepad, or any text editor, Word, Wordpad, etc. when you hit the home button the cursor goes to the first of the line, not first of document like Mac, you can hit ctr. + home for that, and end goes to the end of the line, not end of the document, ctrl + end will do that. I think Windows should cost less and Office.
And speaking of choice, I would like to see a way to switch off the Office Ribbon - not a fan of it.
I know you can download non MS supported programs to do away with the Ribbon, and get the Classic Start Menu / Explorer functions but - I would like a Microsoft supported method to turn these features on and off. Thanks for all you do Chris.
