It shouldn't be forgotten that while head of Novell he got to experience Microsoft's gutting of NetWare as the dominant network program, so he has cause to fear Redmond. However, the Windows hook that helped MS win the corporate network isn't there or doesn't matter in either search or mobile devices. Bing has only minimally affected Google's search dominance, and Windows Phone 7 hasn't exactly derailed Android from its phenomenal growth. But let's hope they all stay strong enough to keep each other honest and produce the innovation that ultimately benefits everyone.
