[stamm]

Microsoft......... will anyone ever compete with it??

 

[j0lly]

No.

 

[aUt0eXebat]

never.

 

[LoneWolf1]

Doubtful!

 

[stamm]

in my opinion, Microsoft can not be it foreever, someone will compete.... someday, it has to happen

 

[joohang]

If anyone does, they better stfu and never publicly announce "war" against it.

 

[KeyserSoze]

Skeptical

[stamm]

i think it will be a gradually takeover, or at least turn it into a compation

 

[spanky]

yes...whenever AT OS comes out...

 

[Thanatopsis]

Yes - Sun, Oracle, Macromedia are just a few companies that compete with Microsoft and put out better products.

 

[Bluga]

Someday yes.

 

[joohang]

I don't agree with Thanatopsis , but he brings up a good point.

Can you be more specific? Microsoft is an enormous company that makes all sorts of products.

 

[pulse8]

I hope not. I don't need 30 different OSes to choose from.

You already do, there are plenty of Linux distros. Not that any of them will ever be good enough as a viable alternative to a home OS. People don't like the idea of typing six different commands to get sound.

 

[stamm]

true, but people who know computers, will agree with me here, LINUX IS MORE POWERFULL then windows
Linux is much better, if you know what you are doing, for the average person, microsoft is the only way to go, but for some of us that work with servers know linux is the way to go,
esecially if you are involved with security

 

[joohang]

I know computers a lot more than average people and I still prefer Microsoft platforms over Linux.

I am aware of the linux and it's distros, but I was referring to consumer OSes.

Highly dubious
