This is the year of Linux on the Desktop!

I think the first thing Windows loses dominance in is Gaming, and that will be the beginning of the end.

Are there still people who like using Windows?

    You are assuming that everyone knows about or ever experienced the alternatives. Windows way is the only way for many.

    • Linux is at 5% desktop market share this year, and I gave up on running windows games without steam a decade ago.

      On average my game library works much better under Linux than Windows (Mac is a distant third — probably worse than FreeBSD).

      Anyway, at 1 in 20, most people probably know someone that runs Linux.

    • No I'm not. I asked if anyone likes Windows. These people presumably have no opinion, it's just a means to an end. The closest thing I think you'll get is "I liked Windows 7" or something like that.
