Glad to see the hegemony dying.

Not surprising. Most people these days seem to be going for PS3 and Wii. I hardly ever hear anyone even mention anything about Zune, and more and more people are becoming aware of Windows alternatives, and the fact that Apple actually makes computers - not just iPods and iPads.

I'm not surprised.

I found some of the links to other articles interesting, especially the one about IE now having under half of the market.

I can't see Windows loosing any significant ground to alternatives on desktops so they're not going away any rime soon.

Let's face it. Microsoft was here since 1975 and they're dying slowly. But Samsung, a late 1930's founded company, is growing strong. I may be fallacious, however.
