you see this kind of wishful (delusional?) thinking very frequently on hn:

> Microsoft won't ever be able ... their business model is ... have had enough.

statements made with complete certitude, as if these things aren't nebulous to begin with or in the process of being decided. it reads like the opening line to a christopher nolan superhero movie (i.e., a call to arms) rather than a position or even an opinion.

i personally don't understand what people get from the act of writing/posting such things - i mean i'd get it if we were on some hill about to rush into battle but this is an anonymous/faceless tech news forum.

They are telling themselves that and they want others to believe that reality. But it's not based on what's happening in the real world.
