Will Windows Become A Thing Of The Past?
In the increasingly Google-YouTube-Web 2.0 age we inhabit, it’s become fashionable to dismiss Windows as a relic. In a few years from now where will we stand? Will Microsoft still hold a large share of the market or will we have moved on to another type of OS and way in which we work with computers? We’ll have to find out as the Web 2.0 age unfolds. However as of right now the reality is that Windows remains as important as ever. Web-based AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) applications may be the tech world’s future, but there’s a long transition between now and then. In the meantime, software vendors understandably dread any plans to “improve feature functionality” in Windows because they remember Microsoft’s history.
