    Microsoft has been shooting itself in the foot for over ten years. If they can't pull it together, then there is no other choice then for something to take it's place. Linux is already widely used by professionals from many different areas. If that can shift to the average consumer, then it's only a matter of time.

      Microsoft has always been shooting itself in the foot. They're just getting better at aiming and using larger caliber weapons ;)

      Linux is a superb OS. I've been using it since the 1.0 kernel and it's gotten better with time. While it did take Apple to get Unix to the desktop, Linux isn't too far behind.

      I agree completely. Ten years ago I threw in the towel concerning Windows and installed a distro..I never went back. But I see Microsoft as having a harder future as there will be more and more choices out there for people.
