Reply #2: Not even close. Hell, it's not even the middle of Microsoft.

You'll have to displace the vast majority of corporate networks and server environments before you even become a significant blip on the radar.

Does MS have its share of problems? Yup. But (as is mentioned throughout the comments on the article), MS isn't going anywhere and the article is written by an obvious fanboy. MS operating systems will continue to be the industry standard for a long time to come (unless you can persuade the majority of companies to spend millions if not billions of dollars to migrate to another environment).

It's entirely unrealistic to pretend that Microsoft is going anywhere.
