This mess could have something to do with it..
- Poor/ugly UI design doesnt pull in new users..
- Lack of proper multitasking environment, makes it hard for companies to use it for work..
- Lack of useful apps, turns off would be users when they cant use normal stuff like Facebook...
- Mostly to drastic of UI change that it alienated many loyal users..
MS did it to their self..

Pretty interesting read. Seems kinda scary that Microsoft may actually be losing in some departments, but it's not quite nightmare territory yet; they're just not doing very well with their attempts at copying the success of Apple's iPad and iPhone, from what I can see.
This is why I don't like the Metro UI, too kiddish for me. XD

I've been using ubuntu for nearly 5 years now - ever since a friend of mine suggested it when hearing about my Windows Vista / Office 2007 woes.
There are still things I would wish for. On my system ubuntu 12.10 is really unstable and I can't use Eclipse. I am, for now, quite content with 12.04. I wish that they would backport webapps, but that ain't happening anytime soon.
I was mentioning this to one of my managers, and the manager reminded me that banks are notoriously conservative. The chances of the bank changing from Windows 7 to any form of Linux are slim to none.
Windows ME was a disaster for Microsoft, Windows XP saved their bacon.
Windows Vista was a disaster for Microsoft, Windows 7 saved their bacon.
Windows 8 may be a disaster for Microsoft, Windows ? may save their bacon.
There is a pattern here, which is why I am suggesting that it is way too early to write off Microsoft.
But the more that I work with ubuntu at home, the more I like it.
