Mac OS X is going to rip through Microsoft's share by 2010. Firefox is going to take at least a third to a half of browser share by 2008. Other computer manufacturers, including Dell, will even start shipping with Mac OS X. That's my guess, at least.

Microsoft is really starting to fight off a lot of beasts, all of a sudden. Google, Apple, Mozilla, not to mention lawsuits and government action (Europe...)
