In my opinion based on what I can see coming, the whole OS market is going to get a big shakeup in the next 5 years. I think the way we compute is going to drastically change and I don't mean iPad's are the hero's either. I think the way we view OS's and the way they work will change as part of this. I just don't see a future for any system that locks itself down the way Apple does and even Windows will have to adjust to survive. In fact I wouldn't be surprised of Win7 is the last of it's type of OS for Microsoft.

I believe that future systems will have to mingle better with each other period to survive. People want ALL their systems to work together, and the OS that does that the best will be the winner.

I also think the in the phone market Apple is becoming complacent much like Blackberry has and being King they seem to think they can't be touched. The market is rapidly evolving and has no place for attitude, just solutions.

It's silly to me in the tech market to become beholden to one manufacturer anyway. I choose what is best for me at each juncture, screw the fanboy trip.
