Microsoft becomes THE MARKET FOLLOWER

Microsoft was a market leader in the world when the window was introduced in the world. No one had a doubt that this company was the leader as we were able to access the computer without the fear owing to the window.
After the birth of GOOGLE and the growth of APPLE, their glory started to fade out. Due to the power of market share, they have been able to keep their position as a leader, especially in Asia. However, many people don't think Microsoft is the leader anymore, even in Asia. My two experiences show their position in Asia has been changing for the last few years.

Experience1
In 2007, I met my new boss who had lived in the US for almost 10 years. He strongly complained that my company used Micro-office as a basic tool, not Mac-office. At that time, my colleagues and I couldn't understand him. We thought the Micro-office was one of the best programs in the world and we even didn't know what is the Mac-office.
Experience2
In 2009, my company upgraded the Micro-office version from 2003 to 2007. Micro-office 2007 is totally different from the previous version. They become more graphical and functional. My colleagues and I knew the Micro-office 2007 followed the Mac-office.

Now, Microsoft is not the market leader anymore. They become a follower of Apple regardless that they acknowledge this fact. However, I don't think Macrosoft will disappear as they still have the huge power of capital and experience.
