I mean there isn't a proper successor to Windows, in case it collapses. Mac OSX is the next biggest OS and it's still hardly known to people here in India or China (the futures of the tech and computing industry). In fact, the only Apple products known to most Indians are the iPod and iPhone (the latter isn't even available here yet!). And people continue to have that "Its-full-of-commands-and-it-really-sucks" impression of Linux. So even if Windows is getting unpopular, the consumers won't find a substitute anywhere and will be forced to stick to Windows. Of course, things MAY change if Apple and the big Linux distros hype up their advertising campaigns (which Microsoft does really well) and bring out the Windows substitutes in front of the people. :) Windows Vista is really a huge flop but I don’t see Windows Vista collapsing in the near future.

That is a rather misguided comment. Having used XP, Vista, and Mac OS over the years (yes, my preference is Mac), it has become clear that Microsoft's inability to create a stable, user-friendly OS has always been hampered by their rush to release versions that have clearly not been ready for the masses. You are right about Vista. An unmitigated disaster that should never have seen the light of day. Perhaps, as you suggested, Microsoft can develop their OS on a modular basis. Keeping from the temptation of mimicking the Apple OS and rushing unfinished products out the door will bring users back. “…It is easy to use as compared to other operating systems like Linux or Mac…” That is a rather misguided comment.
