great news for windows fans, better news for software companies, especially anti-virus companies. It's a crazy world, on to the next treadmill.
Seriously though, as a linux user this is great news for me. With every release by Ms or Apple, the rewards of these innovations eventually find there way into every operating system via hardware advances. so as long as the top end hardware continues to advance because of bloated software (and I don't mean that in a negative way, it's just a fact) , the stuff I used to foam at the mouth over, is now very reasonable... and the crazy beat keeps going on and on.
This will be a big push in the back for all O.S's to pick up the pace in the "holy software wars" now everyone point themselves to redmond and say thanks.
