>> I wonder why there was such a lack of progress for the masses? Perhaps this is due to a certain 93% of the market company deciding to wring profits for its shareholders instead of thinking of improving the state of computing?<<
ROFL, the stockholders of the 93% market share company probably would disagree with you loudly, but this is a point well taken. Obviously no one was pushing them very much until the last couple of years, but I think we can agree this has changed. I was reading an article in PC Magazine this morning about Windows 7 (was in the library and it caught my eye passing by). Was shocked how the entire article was pure speculation. I expected better of PC Magazine, but apparently Microsoft is being very tight lipped about what is next. The only thing I got out of the article is an interesting concept: minimized kernel so they can scale the OS to weaker hardware. Looks like the fact Linux can run on weaker hardware is biting at the ankles of the giant.
