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."

MS made a deliberate choice to save Apple. They could have effortlessly destroyed Apple at the time by immediately abandoning Office and IE for Mac. The $150 million was also seen as a vote of confidence. MS only did this because they needed Apple to survive to prevent antitrust actions.
MS no longer needs Apple to prevent antitrust lawsuits so the 600lb MS gorilla is being let out of his cage again.
