Is Microsoft getting ready to kill Windows?

| No, I'm not talking about killing Vista. Microsoft is already burying that
| living dead operating system as fast it can. I'm talking about killing
| Windows itself. That's the conclusion I've drawn from David Worthington's
| story about Microsoft's plans for Midori, a next generation operating system.

| I doubt that he has the vision to see that Microsoft needs to reinvent itself
| for the 21st century. Still, just the fact that Eric Rudder, senior vice
| president for technical strategy at Microsoft, is in charge of Midori gives
| me some hope that something may come of it. Come to think of it, there was a
| time when Rudder was considered as someone who might take Microsoft's helm.
| Now if Ballmer were to be fired and Rudder took charge... hmmm...

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
