real choice and real threat ....

Anybody have a choice to not use or use Google's service. Google did not force your choice on their users.

What choice do you have in MS:

1) Do you have a choice of an Intel OS before?

2) Were people given good judgment when MSOffice comes bundled in the OS?

3) Were people given good judgment when IE comes bundled in the OS?

4) Were people given good judgment when MS announce they don't want Vista

virtualized on top of their competitor OS?

:D

Therefore, the real threat to the health of IT ecology is Microsoft. How much more with their plans to become more visible in providing SaaS?
