Nice strategy, Microsoft. Users aren’t upgrading to your new products. So you decide to focus on security and force upgrades. And, in the meantime, sue open-source competitors and spend lots of money to beat Linux.
Microsoft strategy
I'm critiquing Microsoft's 2002 tactics of forcing upgrades through security pivots and suing open-source rivals. They're spending heavily to beat Linux because users aren't voluntarily moving to newer, paid versions of their software.
