Well, then I guess Microsoft will become a terrible piece of computer
history sooner than we think.  I would give Windows a couple more years
after Longhorn, because people will try to use XP as long as they can, but
eventually, they will be forced either by microsoft to switch to longhorn
and all its spyware and other invasions of privacy, or by their sence of
privacy and security to switch to a real OS like Linux or Freebsd, which
would actually work better for anyone who tried such systems.  It's just
that until now, no one has really been forced by Microsoft to seek out
other alternatives, and people are afraid of switching to an OS that they
don't know about.
