		<description><![CDATA[The latest article by Information Week&#039;s Senior Editor Paul McDougall is well written and cites example after example of Microsoft&#039;s incompetence and inability to gain traction in virtually every market they&#039;ve tried their hand at recently. His article, &#34;Microsoft Looking Like An End-Stage Company&#34; is spot-on and well worth reading. Paul notes the rapidly declining [...]]]></description>
