There are many good enough opensource alternatives to microsoft windows and office available. The alternatives have been available for quite sometime now. People have not migrated out of laziness and because of a reluctance to go out of their comfort zone. However faced with a prospect of job loss, employees will be more than willing to adapt to any alternative that will save some cost. That is why I say that Microsoft is most vulnerable today.

However companies need to be reminded that there are better options than laying off people. Companies need assurance of reliable product support, when they need it.

If google wants to migrate computing to the browser, then this is the best time. Stop fiddling with that browser Google. Go for the kill. Promote the open source office suites and linux with 100% commitment.
