"In saying this, I'm assuming, obviously, that Microsoft will still exist as a
software maker. That's not a given; in fact, it's only barely more likely
than unlikely.
There are quite a lot of things that could drive major change, starting with a
voluntary breakup into at least three operating companies and the return of
substantial cash assets to the shareholders. Two, however, stand out as
potential company killers -- the asteroids of doom.
Both are unlikely, but either could extinguish the company and quite possibly
land its founders and key managers in jail."
