Rather media companies like Gartner than fixate on distribution, which is a main plank in the Microsoft party platform.

Two things will hurt Microsoft and Microsoft boosters if talk turns to using software:

People will actually try using software and notice what works and what doesn’t. If they want to use software, the first thing they’ll need to do is find software that functions and that means starting to look for non-MS replacements.

2) People will start planning about using software and see the train wreck that is named Software Patent.
