Very interesting story, but with two silly flaws:

1. “The browser… is increasingly the only operating system that matters…” for “all Mac users.” Say what??? Surely there is no group out there more passionate about its native operating system.

2. The final conclusion is exactly wrong: “If Windows and Office were perfect, would it be enough to keep Microsoft relevant…?” The answer is clearly “Yes.” With few exceptions, both consumers and large enterprises would much rather own their software and run it locally. Services like Google Docs seem compelling only because Office is so big, ugly and overpriced.

Also, a response to the tediously inevitable pro-Vista comments: just because Vista works for YOU, doesn’t mean that all the reported problems are somehow magically irrelevant. Love your Vista as much as you like, you aren’t changing the minds of the huge numbers of people who have good reason to hate it. An OS that “just works” for only SOME of its users is no good at all.

Not a MS (or Vista) fanboy, but this article is sensationalist tripe. I don’t know a single computer user who ONLY uses their browser. And as a Mac user, I certainly don’t limit myself to it. Maybe someday we all will be in the “cloud” but I think that people like to have “possession” of their files, and certainly businesses do, too.

If Internet apps were truly ready for primetime, then el Jobso wouldn’t need to issue an SDK for the iPhone.

Windows Vista is the fastest, Most troubles-free and easiest for developers OS. It just works.
I agree, Linux is getting just worse from release to release. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile is the best ever OS for smartphones.
Windows Server 2008 is the best OS for servers, Just switched to it from RHEL. .NET is such a great development platform and IIS7 is the best ever web-server…
Windows is just getting better…
btw
Who are “Gartner”? Never heard of them? Perhaps they’ll collapse soon?
