  What growth? as desktop it has had no growth in the last 15 years. As a gaming platform it has had negative growth in the last few years.

According to you, not to Linux users mind you, but I'm sure you'd be laughing at them regardless like you laughed at your professor.

Not my professor, a work college at the time and I didn't laugh at him, just because you are incapable of having a discussion wihtout insulting or laughing at someone doesn't mean that is how adults behave. Also not according to me, According to publically available stats, e.g. Netapplications, netmarketshare, Steam, Gartner. The information is out their. I use linux every day and have for the past 21 years, it is fantastic server OS, it is also a fantastic desktop OS for those that work with IT, But it is an awful desktop OS for the general masses and gaming and nothing much has changed in this area since I started using it.

dorron if MS decided to ship a new OS it wouldn't be linux based it would be BSD based, not that I think that is likely to happen in next 15-20 years, they simply have too high a desktop and server marketshare for that to happen in such a short timeframe, it would require a technological shift at the hardware level to justify such a change.
