In my opinion 2007 will be the year MS's illegally maintained monopoly
will seriously decline. The absurd spam situation is being recognised
more and more as due to the inherent insecurity of MS SW. Vista will
be a flop compared to previous Windows releases. It has nothing of
note to offer so business uptake will be low while Linux uptake will
continue to increase. As the Linux success stories get press others
will see that there is a viable alternative to the MS lock in.
