The only thing that makes me think we aren't entering the post-Windows era is that Office is still a cash cow for Microsoft. Because the situation Microsoft is in now with Windows greatly resembles the one they were in with Office '97. People kept buying new versions because no one else offered anything all that different and it was preloaded It comes down to the next great thing. Linux, OpenOffice, Google Apps and Zoho are all trying to be just like Microsoft in their look and feel. But the only thing that will draw people from Microsoft is the next evolution of the desktop. Microsoft clearly can't provide it. When I see that. Something that makes it worth the effort for people to ditch Windows I'll know we're in the post-Windows era.
