I think so. In addition to being user friendly, Microsoft employs millions of people, both directly and indirectly. If Microsoft were to suddenly disappear, there would be a lot of people out of work. Remember what happend when the court ruling agaist microsoft caused their stock to drop dramatically? Thousands of lost jobs. Like it or not, Microsoft is more than just the company that makes an OS most of you dislike.
