NXT can also offer the functionality of both MS and Eth in one package, which is a good thing. Saves time/money on integration hassles.

So: answering the OPs question: MS and Eth are not really in direct competition with each other, but NXT is in the race and ahead at this moment.

Delusional

This is the funniest shit I've read all year. NXT is a joke. It isn't anything. It isn't bitcoin with built in programming language (like Ethereum) and it isn't a decentralized storage and computational platform. NXT is a bullshit cryptocurrency which only has the advantage that it doesn't burn too much electricity like bitcoin.

NXT is garbage. Nobody will bother with their nonsense. Why do you think MaidSafe raised all that money in ten minutes? Because it is a real system. Not sure if it will work, but it isn't just a bunch of nonsense like NXT.

NXT is good marketing with nothing under the hood. We don't need another bitcoin, the bitcoin we have is already too much of a pain in the ass. NXT will never replace bitcoin. Stop being a fool.

You don't read very much then.....

NXT is simply ahead right now, in terms of delivering usable code, no argument possible. Neither MS nor Eth are anywhere near actually releasing anything, while NXT's Asset Exchange is set to go live in less than a month.
I'm not bitching MS or Eth up, btw, either one of them could become an important player. I'd bet on Eth before MS, though.

And as MadCow said, NXT is strong on tech, and much weaker on marketing right now.
That you haven't seen that makes me think that you could maybe do some first hand research on NXT.

I never stated that NXT will replace Bitcoin. It might do, it could do, but thats gonna be at least a few years down the line, if ever.
BTC has massive advantages: proven tech, huge user base, great usability and utility. It's here to stay.....probably.
NXT doesnt actually have to beat BTC to be successful, because it is competing in the 2nd generation game, not the first gen. where BTC rules.
