I guess there are people busy on all of them? I'd like to see a future post on this! “Many more strides in functionality, capabilities, and interoperability need to take place in order to truly transform the enterprise from a Windows-anchored infrastructure to that of a Web-based architecture.”

It seems that they have given that responsibility to their hardware partners (like Dell and HP). However, they are slowly losing marketshare to open source and online alternatives. Yahoo does offer an online platform solution for them hence, one of the reasons of their impending acquisition. Although they have tried to make a hybrid with Office Live and Vista, it still feels like a sophomoric attempt at best.

Today, we don't need an operating system to use the telephone, and soon we won't need one to share more complex information. The computer utilities used by most people remain simple interaction techniques -- typing, or video sharing, or creating written or mathematical documents, period. The ability to create documents, record and share sound and images, and to type at each other is not really rocket science. As the input and output methods become true *commodities*, what remains will be the network and the gadgets that hook in. Say farewell, Microsoft, and perhaps later Apple OS X and Facebook and Twitter, because someday soon the message, not the means, is all that will matter.
