seriously - have you seen windows 8? It's at best a shadow of XP and at worst an utterly horrible mess based on a brilliant idea that nobody wants. It's like ubuntu's unity - it's shit and it's the final nail in the coffin that is MS. Sure they'll be around for non-tech management types to buy crappy products from - but for the web-generation they don't really mean anything anymore. When I was a kid I had a poster of Bill Gates in my room. Then I listened to Linus pronounce Linux Linux and then I basically stopped worrying and now do most of my off-work stuff on iThings. Bill Gates was a long time ago - and kids today don't really care about it anymore. Linuxish things will be around for a while until somebody does that proper and then it will probably dominate - come on - it's unix - it was the best idea - only the suits and the marketing made MS - the plan was crap the minute they stopped xenix.
