Michael, everything big starts with something small. I'm not expecting Windows to die tomorrow, but it will happen eventually. BTW, Linux is very strong in China

LINUX is thus dead, and will remain so

I don't suppose you've taken a look at any point of sale programs lately. Retail with its multitudinous backend systems all run on Unix variations and that includes the fastest growing favorite, Linux.

As for the desktop, MSFT isn't in eminent danger of losing it to Linux except for this little company called Lindows which MSFT happens to be suing over their choice of name. It allows you to run pretty much any Windows program on Linux.
