Does Microsoft Have any Real Competition? yes.
Furthermore, I contemplate to get more.
Microsoft principally commands in working frameworks and office profitability programming.
Windows will be the predominant OS for quite a while. Be that as it may, I figure things will get considerably more fascinating with the Novell/SuSE merger. The mammoth IBM was at that point behind Linux. (Individuals overlook that if IBM's product division were a different organization, it would be number two just to Microsoft.) Now, they confront the test from an organization that knows how to market to the endeavor, which Red Hat does not. SuSE gets the channels and business accomplices it needs around the world; Novell can guarantee its survival past NetWare as a contender to the abhorred Microsoft. (Novell feels about as firmly about the people from the Northwest as Sun does.)
Furthermore, talking about Sun, they are forcefully pushing StarOffice as a contrasting option to Microsoft Office. It offers document similarity, so anybody on a financial plan may need to at any rate think of it as. Corel is additionally holding tight with WordPerfect and different items, and Novell has GroupWise. So there is no less than a little rivalry in office efficiency, albeit as a matter of fact very little. StarOffice is presently accessible in the retail channel, so that may change.
With Sun and IBM pushing Java/J2EE as the stage for Web administrations, .NET is getting all the opposition it can deal with. For dynamic Web distributing (refreshing from a database) I appear to see in any event the same number of pages with .jsp (Java Server Pages) or .php (Hypertext Preprocessor) as I do .asp (Active Server Pages, from Microsoft) on the document name. (On the off chance that you've at any point pondered what those odd things were that were not .htm or .html, that is it!)
There are two zones where Microsoft is off by a long shot to the lead position.
Most Web servers are Apache running under Linux, not Microsoft's Internet Information Server on a Windows box.
In the database field, Microsoft truly confronts hardened rivalry. IBM is as yet number one with DB2, and Oracle is not far behind. While SQL Server 2000 is substantially more hearty and venture prepared than its ancestors, it is still in third place. (But a more tightly third place with the versatility and different highlights of SQL Server 2000.) On the diagrams with a slug is MySQL, the Linux of the database world that is increasing more piece of the pie in endeavors not requiring the highlights of a DB2 or Oracle.
Things being what they are, does Microsoft have rivalry? Indeed, even in regions of close syndication, there is in any event some opposition.
