let's turn the tables for the lulz
Windows on the cloud is on life support
Windows on supercomputers is on life support
Windows doing VXD is on life support
Windows on mobile phones is dead
Where has Linux been kicked off once it was established? Windows continues to be relevant due to the desktop (office, games,...) simply because of the inertia it has built up by proven illegal operations.
They carry on being "relevant" due to the backward compatibility that they are carrying YET this is the thing that weighing them down. If they break it to deal with old poor decisions (NTFS, win32) and people can no longer run their apps, will they stay?
Would Forbes even have reviewed Linux for gaming years ago? Think about it, what is more "life support" or irrelevant ? Reporting it is irrelevant or not reporting because it is irrelevant
I agressively push Linux at work and expose a box I have for heavy simulations. Every time I push it in the majority of the internal IT I keep hearing why it must be windows (even with all the pain, even with having to run three types of AV ...) Now when I speak to the corporate IT dealing with HPC, the response is always "why would you even consider windows"
Cloud and webapps and "good enough" is what will wake people up to why do they need to deal with all the desktop BS that Microsoft subjects it's test subjects to. Desktop Linux (esp using plasma) is making it easier for Joe average. What do people really think is going to happening when the wake-up occurs? butbutbut DX15 is da bestest
