Excellent article. Last year both Mac sales and Windows sales declined YoY. Only one "desktop" grew. ChromeOS is Linux base and grew over 35% YoY. Still small numbers but is now #2 in the US and growing quickly.

- Radle 10y agoI disagree. The Article i stupid. There's never been a war. A war is destructive. Microsoft is doing well for itself. Win10 is arguably the best Windows ever. The world is going cross platform. Ubuntu is a great distro, Linux server Systems are awesome. Android is awesome. Everyone did their best and many people and organisations are doing well for themselves. If that was a "war", everyone seems to have won it.
