The question is how long that grip will last. In the business space, I would expect it to last for some time, because businesses have a lot of tailored stuff on top of Windows. For consumers, however, I think that the alternatives present a very serious threat to Windows OS dominance. I don't know if I'll ever buy another Windows PC (I've got 3, but I only really use one now, and that's plugged into the TV to watch video and may get replaced by an apple TV or similar soon).
