Will microsoft and windows still exist in the next couple of years?

It's changing, and changing very fast. Many things are going to be web based or in the cloud as they like to call it. Will it take off, like they think, I don't know. For myself, I like having my programs on my computer and I like storing my information on my computer. Google is the one to watch, they are now working on a new OS and they have the money and users to really change the game. My guess is it's going to be more free OS's like the new google How much it's hard to say. One thing for sure there will be less Microsoft. As far as apple taking over, not likely. They are all about the money, and they charge a lot. You really don't get that much more for your money. They make good stuff, so they will probably always have a place, with some people having more money than computer sense. Apple will be here for some time, but My guess is they won't every get over 10% of the computer market.
