Windows Collapsing Under Its Own Weight - Gartner

NOTHING Windows does can fix their lethargic, bloated, and essentially crappy OS. Windows should do what they do best - software for the office environment.

To was_fred and the others: Classic apps DO run on Mactels running 10.4.x under Rossetta Stone (I am using them on this MacBook Pro!), but I am not sure about Leopard.

To rampman and his fellow Windows lovers and fanboys - the ONLY reasons MS ever took the lead from Apple and other innovators was that Gates made the decision to license, and tied his fortunes to Deep Blue's Deep Pockets and powerful sales team. They had a fairly good WP (Word - originally made for Apple!), and later other good office apps - but their OS was always lousy. (And I would know - I ran it from DOS 3.0 forward!)

Also, Google's FREE office apps are making serious progress, as is Linux and other Open Source stuff - and Apple is gaining market share by the minute! (Much of this thanks to Vista!)

Windows is going down the tubes - it may die hard, but unless they totally change their model and M.O., they are going down...
