MICROSOFT TAKES LEAD FROM PALM

Microsoft's Windows CE passed Palm OS to become the leading PDA operating system during this third quarter. Doesn't surprise me. They are just a juggernaut. Whether fast or slow to grab a market, they just do it.

I won't be surprised if they soon dominate the settop box operating systems worldwide as interactive TV seems to be gaining steam again... for the tenth time in a couple decades. I will be slightly surprised if Xbox takes the lead over Sony's PS2 in the coming years simply because Sony is another juggernaut, and they have such a stronghold in the game developers' world.
