I'm not sure that matters, an excellent translation is really the key. About competition Microsoft has big dreams and that is great because so does Google and as it stands I think Google is winning this race.

They still hope to wrest back propriety control even if that precludes critical fertile synergy generating those impressive uses. Microsoft, naturally, will go after Leap, but they will ultimately fail since acquisition, subversion and corporate tactic are Microsoft's 'outlook' rather than innovation.

Historically, Microsoft use inordinate strong arm tactics to stifle competitive innovation that on the whole set technology back decades. So Microsoft subscribers merely continue to sow the seeds of their own frustration and this 'breakthrough' if anything will be mediocre rather than 'huge'. You should care where profits fall.
