I'm wondering if Microsoft's milestones will keep being met if Palm were to vanish. Microsoft has been known only to work and produce under pressure. Even though Palm itself is not much of a pressure the name and legacy are. Of course if Microsoft would make a bad jugment call or misstep I could see someone putting his/her foot into Microsofts door just like Linux did.
Just to show what name recognition means: Every day at least one (usually some uninitiated type) person will ask me if that's a Palm or even a Palm Pilot. Kind of strange when Microsoft is the biggest player. Palm people will look at me using my PPC and remark "Oh. that's one of those, ahhhh, Microsoft, ahhhh, Palms? <2 sec. pause> ahhhh I mean PDA :?
