Hi mixture,
By 'decline of windows', my feeling is that 95% of people including myself use the computer for surfing, email, skype, playing media and facebook etc only. I use open office occassionally to write a document and that's about it. Android systems do all the above comfortably. Simply, I believe many people have no need for windows anymore. Ditto Apple. Why tie yourself into a closed, rigid, propriortary and pay as you go architecture when an open source, free and functional viable option is on offer?
Or am I missing something?
cheers
Octane
