"It kills me to say this: The dream of Windows as a major desktop OS is now pretty much dead. Despite phenomenal security and stability — and amazing strides in usability, performance, and compatibility — Windows simply isn't catching on with desktop users. And if there ever was a chance for desktop Windows to succeed, that ship has long since sunk. ... Ultimately, Windows is doomed on the desktop because of a critical lack of content. And that lack of content owes its existence to two key factors: the fragmentation of the Windows platform, and the fierce ideology of the open-source community at large."
