What does Sony have to do with it? They launched an OP now??? Sony are nowhere in PC land, and all of their machines come with Windows as standard. Windows 7 will win a few plaudits and win quite a few (non fanboy) people over, Apple is only on Apple, and Google is being adopted by hardware manuufacturers... for netbooks only, netbooks being used as web browsers mainly. People want Windows to suddenly vanish... guess what? It wont. |
It's possible that Google OS and Apple can steal some customers from MS and Windows (the latter has found some moderate success).
What won't happen and what people seem to forget is that, ain't no way in hell that Fortune 500 companies are gonna change their windows and windows servers infrastructure anytime soon. At least not in the short term.
I bet you google uses windows internally right now and they'd be the first to have to change to their own OS and prove to other Fortune 500 companies that it's safe and secure, fast enough and does everything that a Fortune 500 company needs. And still some companies use programs such as SAP and Siebel which, as of right now, only run on Windows and not even Vista compatible AFAIK.
