Microsoft responds to threats
eWeek | at | by Mike
With challenging litigation in several states, an ongoing and strengthening consent decree with the U.S. Justice Department, the ongoing attacks on Microsoft products and customers by virus writers, and the recent ruling by the European Union, the company has never been under greater threat.
In fact, I can't remember any company-technology or otherwise, with the possible exception of Standard Oil in the first part of the last century (which was, fortunately, before my time)-that has been under greater, and longer, sustained threat. Strangely enough, the company appears to be weathering the storm. However, while things appear very bad now, there are indications that this may be bottoming out for the firm.
