Will Linux force Microsoft to give XP Pro more life?

,----[ Quote ] 
| Microsoft has been forced by Linux's popularity on UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs) 
| to extend the life of Windows XP Home. My only question: How long will it 
| take before Microsoft buys a clue and gives XP Pro a new lease on life as 
| well?   
| 
| [...]
| 
| Desktop Linux is the right operating system at the right time. Microsoft will 
| be forced to go backwards. The next few years will see Windows rocked on the 
| low-end by Linux and on the high-end by Macs.  
| 
| Unbelievable? Join me as we go through the years together and watch it 
| happen.
