What will destroy the Microsoft empire?

...

Me

A vengeful and unforgiving God.

wow TIL Michael Farage was in a plane accident

>TIL

(((accident)))

linux lol

Man, you're telling me we were that close to having a dead Farage?

How disappointing.

Microsoft will do it themselves.

The Century of the Linux Desktop, obviously.

not modern day apple

This...eventually

Absolutely nothing. So much of business is dependant on MS that governments would pay any amount to keep them afloat.

Poor management and its lack of agility. I'd also add the fact that they don't want to change there OS or the number of operating systems they offer despite the variety of platforms available.

Who knows though. They may surprise me.

The last 25 years of computing has been ruled by MS to the point that there would barely be "computing" without them. Microsoft are inseparable from the computer as much as memory or a processor.

God was protecting Farage and the Queen's country that day.

1925-1955 - comuputing pioneer age
1955-1985 - mainframe/terminal age (ibm/bell labs)
1985-2015 - pc/internet age (intel/microsoft)
2015-2045 - mobile/cloud age (arm/google)
2045 - muh singularity

End of support for Windows 7.

Wow banned word wew can't say that

>accident
just like this other time

Will Windows 7 be the next XP?

sadly smarthphones and android (plus google botnet api)

Not rebuilding Windows from scratch and clean it up so it's not a clumsy resource devouring POS that requires specific versions of additional software to run things

They should replace Windows with a Linux distro
