Microsoft's death rattle, a death caused by the Mac Linux world infestation
For many years we have seen the come and go of big name brands inside the Technology industry but one name that most would have never predicted is the collapse of Microsoft Corporation. The amazing Microsoft empire and 90% world domination of computer based operating system software and office suites would seem unmovable, but it seems as of 2010 some like myself see an end to the software giant in close proximity.
With the ups and downs of Apple in the 80's 90's, Apple has finally cemented itself as the leader in global hand held other personal computer systems, I for one ten years ago would have laughed at this fact.
Linux is becoming an increasing phenomenon and is becoming widely accepted as a stable alternative to Windows, this spur-ed on by open source community.
The need to do anything outside a web browser has become more apparent, a computer that is not Internet connected is useless.
Firefox, Chrome Opera are all on Linux and have always been safer the risking your personal data on the likes of Internet Explorer.
I sit in a Starbucks coffee shop as I write this miserable article.
The only people that seem to need a PC with Windows is the community of nerdy World of Warcraft players, who probably have no idea what a Ipad is cause they have been siting at there computer for the past decade.
