Cringely notes that Microsoft’s competitive advantage is not Windows:
If Apple would port its Mac software (iWork, iLife, Final Cut, etc) to Windows it could quickly own the software market. Microsoft’s competitive advantage is not Windows — it is Office. Apple could take them out if it chose to. They won’t in 2009. But if the economic crisis really hurts Apple’s 2009 business, taking business away from Microsoft in 2010 could become a real consideration.
