Well... almost correct. Except that Microsoft HAS begun to loose. They began when they lost the API battle to Java.
The common thread since then has been the delayed wake-ups Microsoft has been displaying.
The internet, Java, open document standards... all examples of Microsoft reacting rather than acting.
But of course, you're correct in that the fight is far from decided at this point. New, innovative, standards-based developments must continue at this high speed that the Open Source community is capable of, to ensure that the war is decided in the direction beneficial to all consumers of software.
