Media coverage focuses on Microsoft's competition with Google, but Chairman Bill Gates sees IBM - not the Web search leader - as its biggest challenger. "People tend to get over-focused on one of our competitors. We've always seen that," Gates said, comparing the potential threat of Google's search capabilities to past competitors such as Internet browser Netscape and Sun Microsystems' Java programming language.

Except Microsoft's server software marketshare keeps on rising.
No - with the exception of the last quarter (which was a very good one for MS) its server market share has been declining, insomuch that the percentage increase in its'server sales has not matched the increase in the market. Linux has been increasing its server market share at a phenomenal rate over the past few years.

Outside Windows and Office, MS are getting their arses well and truly kicked in just about every area they have encroached. Unable to leverage their monopoly they are forced to compete on a level playing field and consequently face being nothing more than minor players in those fields.
