What the programmers wish use as a platform and what the people might want to buy are two different things. (Does an ordinary user always even know what an operating system is? :-). Who decides anyway? The programmers, the marketing people, or the users? To me it is seems like where the users will want to go while the computer firms think where they will want to take the users. Well, Good Folks, just place your bets and well check out the situation after one year from now, ok? ...................................................................
