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?

Microsoft is influencing the product lines of companies that base their product lines on Linux such as Suse and Sun. It would be imposible for Longhorn to whipe out Linux willingly especially for people in Asia, China, and Europe, however Longhorn might dominate North America, although not completely. Longhorn does not give you any control, so it is inferior technology, but Microsoft relies heavily on entertainment, and most people want nothing more than to be entertained, and most people make bad choices for themselves, it's their lifestlye, the majority of people are not owners.
