Mac is annoying as hell. I wouldn't buy their products just because of their commercials. And usually windows isn't the problem, instead it is a person's messed up PC.

Hence emerging. People rarely use Yahoo for search anymore, but for its social networking functions, and ask has seen less use since Google responds to question searches now, too. (at least, as well as ask does)

Maikeru, they did nothing in the 90's to stop Microsoft's emerging monopoly (took care of itself, eventually), and they're doing nothing to stop Google's emerging status as a monopoly of search engines and more. Why would they stop Apple?

If Apple does rise and Microsoft dies, then the government will get involved, to destroy the possibility of a monopoly.

Many people are hypothesizing the rise of the Mac (and by extension OS X) in the next 10 to 20 years, and possibly the eradication of Windows. And if that did happen, I'm guessing many people here would be affected greatly.

So, here's my question. What do you want in a future OS, and what do you see in the future of software? Will computers continually keep getting more expensive? Will Microsoft die? Will Apple die?

~Discuss.
