Sure, but the year is still young.
It's just some "prominent journalist's" silly opinion. I'm sure other
"prominent journalists" in 1990 said Win 3.1 would be a bust.

They missed that over in the Ubuntu camp, where they're busy looking to
Vista for inspiration: "Vista is introducing alot of new features and I'm
pretty sure we can (or will very shortly) replicate most of those features
in Ubuntu."

Vista is a huge, bloated, long-awaited, overpriced new Microsoft desktop OS,

It happens to be true. And, it's the same argument made by many OSS
products: "Look, you can use your MS documents in our OSS app!"

People don't care much about Windows; they care about apps and hardware and
games and music.
