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?

Now not to dissapoint several people that have already posted here, I do want to add something....
Out of all the OSes that i've tried (eg: linux, beos, macos) Windows has ALWAYS been the OS that has given me the most trouble. When I actually have it on my hard drive WinXP has crashed at least once every 6 months or so. Now with Longhorn comming who knows when, but when it actually does come out I really don't expect it to be any different. Adding features and flashy interfaces aren't the ways that oses should innovate. They should have been innovative in usability and stability.
Hopefully Longhorn will be better. The only reason I say that is that because Microsoft has the mojority of the os market share. And because of this I only hope that users can have a better computer experience that Microsoft has yet provided.
