I'm just waiting for the sine curve to come down again. Companies who can change from that to this in 10 years because FLOSS became hip and popular, can change the other way around if it increases their profits.
Maybe, maybe not. CEOs are replaceable as well. But if the society is dependent on Microsoft, we will remain dependent even after Satya. Look, I'm not trying to preach anything. I love this MS as much as the next guy. It's just useful to think that companies can change both ways because ultimately what a company wants is to maximize profits, it's naive to think MSFT is trying to accomplish anything other than this. It's useful to think this for the long-term picture.
