Yea Office 2007 and Windows 7 are turds compared to the competition and we are better off with Google having 100% because only they have access to the most keyword click data. I am surprised you didn't call them M$.
You haven't really given me much to dispute, but I digress. Neither Office or Windows 7 is geared toward mobile computing, which for all intensive purposes is the future of computing and which Microsoft is at an enormous disadvantage. Microsoft is currently dominant in every area of computing that is declining in every metric worth measuring. Nearly every way Microsoft makes money has become stagnant largely due to the dominance of Microsoft in these areas and the lack of innovation required to continue making money. Microsoft is in much graver danger than they let on. The entire MS stack has been abandoned by the next generation of innovators. Find me an 18 year old MS Visual Basic programmer and I'll show you a minimum wage earner for the rest of his career.
Microsoft is a dying company, and the sooner young people abandon this company and all its technologies the better off they are.

Yes, too bad that MS isn't making something like Windows 8 or Office 15 that are geared for mobile and touch friendly launching in like six months or so.

I just searched for 'Visual Basic' on indeed.com and came up with the following results:
These are counting only the open jobs(many of which are going unfilled).

You mean by people like StackOverflow?

Yes, people should do that. It will make hiring for all the above open positions easier, since it will weed out people who are easily misled by people like you and who live in a well and shout la-la-la to any voice of reason.

5 years behind the competition. Windows is so far behind iOS it's embarassing.
I just searched for 'Visual Basic'... Salary Estimate
What you're not able to do a bing search for is how long-term these high-paying Visual Basic jobs are going to last. There's no future in Visual Basic because it's not for building apps in a mobile computing paradigm. It's an old-school desktop GUI paradigm, the paradigm that is quickly being replaced with mobile computing... where Microsoft is at an enormous disadvantage. Nobody is building mobile apps using Visual Basic.

Out of every 100 Silicon Valley startups, I think you'll find about 1% or less are using any Microsoft technologies. You conveniently provided one of those 1%.
