I guess that's why Gartner and IDC both indicate that Windows and Linux
are the only two mainstream players going forward. Proprietary Unix is
on the wane. The only two OSs with significant growth are Windows and Linux.

Sorry, but whining and making absurd claims like you've made make it
really hard to take you seriously.
