The title of the article seems familiar to you? Naturally it would, when you read something like this. But I do state the corresponding sentence isn't even grammatically correct, thereby making it difficult for me to parody. I am sure that Linux is not close to extinction but is rather gaining momentum or at least holding its ground.

After reading that the internet is now over 16 years old not so long ago I realized that many of the most basic concepts we use in GUI's today were released in the early 90's and likely patented before that.
After these technologies hit the 20 year mark it won't matter who started doing it or patented it first becasue patents are only good for 20 years.
That might seem like a long time but not when you consider that UNIX has been around since the 60's and Vista is going to be released almost 17 years after Windows 3.0.
The GUI really has not changed much since Win95, the patents for which will likely mostly expire between 2009 and 2013.
