  It takes a lot to dismantle an Empire
Time: 00:42 EST/05:42 GMT | News Source: | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Mary Jo Foley: Despite lots of wishful thinking by Microsoft haters, Microsoft won’t be destroyed in a day.

When I read analysts, customers, bloggers, partners and others prematurely dancing on Microsoft’s grave because of a loss of a half percent of market share here or a customer loss there, I want to remind them that there is a long legacy  — and lots of layers of fat — protecting Microsoft from annihilation. This isn’t a Microsoft apologist talking; it’s a Microsoft realist.

Take the rumor of 15,000-person layoffs that first percolated on Mini-Microsoft’s blog before Christmas. (And keeps re-percolating, thanks to a number of sites like Fudzilla.)
