Has Microsoft switched from defense back to offense? | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com.

An interesting article describing the ways that Microsoft, who’s been clearly losing it’s edge for years, is in the process of making a major comeback.

Key points:

  • Apple is complaining about Microsoft ads and is lowering their price to counter
  • Office 2010 could be a GoogleDocs killer by offering rich native web functionality
  • Bing has become a very viable alternative to Google
  • Microsoft will be opening Retail stores next to Apple
  • And my personal favorite, Windows 7 is radically smaller and faster, while being even functionally better, than Vista.

In my opinion, this time next year should be very interesting.  It may take a bit longer, but I bet Microsoft is doing something with the critically acclaimed, but not super selling, Zune OS to turn it into a full fledged mobile device OS.
