I doubt Forbes serves its website from an iPhone.

Based on http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://forbes.co... they don't use Microsoft software either. As for Microsoft's profits, anyone who has read The Innovator's Dilemma can see all of the signs of a late stage great company that has failed to address disruptive innovations. They will continue to have great profit margins as they bleed customers until they wind up with no business left.

That could be in the next 10 years or 100 years. Nobody knows and I don't think anybody can predict that will happen sooner than later.

Just like IBM: they're not visible to our generation of IT workers but they exist in other lucrative market, embedding themselves quietly and nicely.
