Not dead. Just irrelevant and/or non-essential. Microsoft is to computing as Ford is to automobiles. Both are still there if you want them to be your choice, but by the same token, if you don't need them in your life, they aren't forced upon you. Me? I haven't owned a Ford since 1985. I switched to Unix/Linux in 1991.
