First the hospitals find themselves unable to upgrade to XP nor could they not upgrade to XP, but now the banking sector is discovering that Microsoft is not their friend. I had previously said that I could only imagine a security flaw so fatal that insurance companies would force their clients not to use MS products could possibly dislodge the software colossus. Apparently, I suffer from a deficit of imagination, since now it appears MS may be actively driving their large corporate customers into their competitors arms (in the back office arena, anyway. on the desktop, there aren't any real competitors)
