參考答案【正確答案：D】
見(jiàn)原文第二段最后三句，I don’t think anyone can say with a straight face that any technology company has a guaranteed position. Not Intel, not Microsoft, not Compaq, not Dell, take any of your favorites. And that’s totally honest.蓋茨認(rèn)為任何一個(gè)技術(shù)公司，包括英特爾、康柏、戴爾都在努力維持和確保自身的地位。而微軟的市場(chǎng)地位將來(lái)勢(shì)必受到威脅和沖擊。
