I wonder why they're giving up.....:hmm: So which OS will be the future?

I doubt Windows will entirely die if they're even planning on killing the whole thing off.

This reminds me of the news about Nvidia. It's probably just another attempt to increase sales, though the Midori thing is definitely going to come true (increase your sales by rumoring the possible demise of the Windows format AND hype up the audience for a new OS; works every time).

I don't know SH. I believe Microsoft will target a certain market like server, business etc. Also consol OS that is under there control like the XBOX. I guess they can't stop coping so they're going to quit while ahead. Maybe the tech support cost too much lol.:rotfl:

Personal computers will depend on freewares like linux?

Oh well.

Only time will tell. All we can do until then is speculate.

And there will be. He has probably already been born and walks among us as some kid. Perhaps Gates will be reincarnated as a hyperactive, pan-faced child whom shall then be known as The Corporate Messiah.

I think the only thing Microsoft has ever admitted as a failure was the so-called Microsoft Bob *shivers*
