Microsoft is already hurting and is probably facing long term problems

The World is littered with pundits and experts (especially free software advocates) who have predicted Microsoft's demise for the last fifteen years. This year 2009 and Microsoft still has 90% market share of operating systems.

The notion that Microsoft will fail and Linux will triumph is hardly a "prediction" since it always lacks any plausible rationale. Rather it is a "pipe dream" brought about by an overly romantic approach to life and/or a helplessness to deal with one's conditions.
