A couple of interesting articles suggesting that Windows will be going the way of the Dodo in the next couple of years.

As likely everyone knows, Vista is less than perfect. In fact, even if it were made perfect, it's still a bloated monster taking ten times the memory of Mac's OS-X kernel, leaving only the higher end machines being capable of running the thing in the way it is meant to. Add to that the browser increasingly becoming the only operating system that matters, with Web apps like GoogleApps more and more being what people will be using to do their work.
Oh dear, that means MSOffice may be in trouble too. As the articles above point out, Windows and Office represents 60% of Microsoft's revenue.
Ouch!
No wonder Microsoft wants Yahoo so bad.
