<i>"This program enables participating retailers and OEMs to offer a special deal to upgrade to Windows 7 for customers purchasing a qualifying PC. I'll be doing another blog post about this program with a date and more details when we get closer to availability. Obviously, Release To Manufacturing (RTM) is an important milestone on the path to GA. We anticipate that we'll be able to make the RTM code for Windows 7 available to our partners sometime in the 2nd half of July. We also expect to be able to make RTM code for Windows Server 2008 R2 available to our partners in this time frame as well."</i></htmltext>

30\% of the databases are MySQL and another 40\% are Oracle.
35\% of laptop sales go to Apple.
They only have \%45 of the mobile phone market using their product.
So are you talking in generalizations or where you speaking about any specific market that they are supposed to dominate?
Did you also want to point out all those markets that are shrinking.
Laptop sales, windows mobile sales (and contracts), government contracts, web browser usage, server usage, corporate sales, office sales, etc etc.
Their sales and market share in just about every sector EXCEPT games is shrinking.
You can still use your Microsoft computer to play games.

If they had been this honest about MS Vista, many of the problems would have been avoided.

Now that MS, once primarily an OS developer, is seriously in <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/" title="xbox.com">hardware business</a> [xbox.com], Creative needs to think about a graceful exit strategy from the MS Windows market.  Just look at what happened when MS decided to sell software.   Previous partners like Lotus and SSI saw what happens when MS want market share.</p></htmltext>
