The above quote is from John C. Dvorak from PCmag.com, PC magazine and his article, 
“Windows Vista: Where’s the Buzz?” We have all come to think of John as a Apple hating, Unix hating, Windows PC user over the years. So that’s what makes his latest article so unusual. He starts out by making fun of the Vista name, which everyone does, including me, so just skip over that part. John then looks at why there is no buzz for Vista. He comes to the conclusion that many of us have come to and that’s that Windows Vista will offer nothing that it had originally promised 5 years ago. But he then looks at an interesting scenario.
When Vista is released, there will be a mass migration to OSX, which even though Jobs says will never be sold for PC users, Apple will eventually realize that Bill Gates became the richest person in the world by selling software, not hardware and will relent to public and stock holder pressure. Microsoft will fall back on it’s Office and Xbox products while Linux/Apache will take over the server space with MySQL and PHP as the hot development tools. Google will dominate the Internet and online applications. The rub would be if Google came out with an operating system as some have thought they would eventually.
I tend to think that until all the generic beige box manufacturers stop mindlessly throwing Windows on every computer the above scenario will not happen, most PC users do not have the knowledge to add or remove an operating system. But what I do see is that eventually users will not put up with operating systems that allow viruses and trojans, and ad-ware and spyware to shut down their computers. Eventually users will get fed up with software that limits support to a Mafia-type arrangement where you pay them for protection from the software itself. Then something will have to change.
