Story: Is there going to be life after Microsoft?

I have used Microsoft since 1980 and the first version of DOS. I've used Windows since Windows 95. And I have an Imac on order because I'm disappointed in Intel and Microsoft and think they're too focused on business and other ventures.

I think Apple has stolen the home desktop from them with a 64 bit operating system and a 64 bit processor that sits on top of a Unix kernel.

I don't see Apple ever displacing MS/Intel; but I do think they can improve their market share while the big guys are donating money to charity and thinking about other things.

Let's face it, in the last decade Apple has been taking care of their segment of the business and MS/Intel has not. It isn't any shame to be a dominant player in a smaller pond so long as you are profitable and your customers are satisfied.
