things will keep changing. apple is good for the masses but only does what it does, microsoft requires continuous tinkering to get it to work but you can get it to anything, and linux does that as well but for the more serious geek. They are all needed, will keep moving forward and don't be surprised for more and crazier things happening in the near future. it might also be the last year for humanity so just relax and enjoy the technology and what it can do.
