By the time Longhorn comes out I'm sure everyone will be sick of the subject "windows vs linux." Will longhorn finally destroy that pesky linux and mark another decade of Microsoft's monopoly, or will the underdog come out with a stunning upset and send a multi billion dollar company to it's grave?

Micro$oft is seeing its end days as a software company. They know this, which is why they are branching out into new markets like games and hardware.
Linux is moving forward very quicky. I don't expect it will completey take over the Desktop market, but I bet it will put a huge dent in it.
Moreover, Legislation is being drafted right now to protect free software. At his point, any move that MS makes against Linux will be seen another reason to get away from the Monopoly.
