When Unix replaced Mainframes, didn't everything have to rewritten?
When 64bit replaces 32bit wont everything have to rewritten?
When 64bit has 100GB of RAM what then? Which of today's applications will be relevant? How many of today's desktop workers will be needed?
If Linux is mostly free how does IDC count desktops?
If MS is losing enough market share to make its quarterly profit flat, who has gained?
