M$ has won the desktop market - there's no doubt about that.  To try to
get into the desktop market now would be a waste of money and time.
That's why it's pointless to try to make OSes like Linux 'cute' because
only intelligent people use them.  But as history has taught us, things
always change.  The times are a changing and the peak of this next
change is getting close.  Like the type-writer, the desktop computer
will give way to a new breed of smart devices.  When that change hits
full circle, it's going to be difficult to imagine that M$'s Windows
will be the last OS standing.
