On October 22, Microsoft will unleash the much-anticipated Windows 7. After the commercial disaster that is Windows Vista, it is believed the new release will turn the tide for the world's biggest software maker. A lot of people also believe it will put a halt to Mac OS X's growth, but I personally think we need to remember the timeless quote form Steve Jobs: "We have to let go of the notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose."

The article has hit the nail completely on the head, the real competition Microsoft faces with mostly all of their products is their earlier versions.
Trying to convince people that Windows 7 will offer something more than Windows XP is a hard sell to both consumers and businesses alike. Microsoft has an upward struggle trying to convince businesses / consumers, that office 2007 is better than earlier versions, that exchange 07 is better than earlier versions. I remember the effort Microsoft spent trying to convince businesses that Windows 2000 / 2003 server was a worthwhile upgrade from NT 4.0.
I read another article can't remember if it's from OSNews or from another site, that describes Mac's marketshare growing after every release of Windows client.
