"The more I think about Microsoft, the more I realise that they are, possibly for the first time, seriously cornered (or surrounded, depending on how you want to see it). A little history will clarify why I think so - and why I think that this might really be the beginning of the end for Microsoft."

Well depends on your mileage.
I switched to linux a long time ago and since i bought a console for gaming never looked back.
Same applies to IM. Take for example MS Live Messenger. This is what kids wanna use. It includes all the goodies Microsoft want them to use.
You mean the free ads.
Do not tell the average joe that Amarok owns Winamp and iTunes
Xchat does only the minimum. You can barely customize it. Xchat is not 1/10 of what mIRC is.
never heard of perl or python?
and by the way i thought most windows users want things just to work because to much customisation is linux department and too geeky.
the're enough p2p clients but what that isn't propietary are you going to howl through the wire?
AOL bought Winamp for $$80 millions USD. It must not be that bad
Hmm i prefer to judge an application by actually using it. And most of the times winamp hangs anyway.
Name a windows app that can match kradio,kdetv or tvtime and doesn't hang the system and or uses all memory available.
