    <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

          O, sorry. I haven't posted a poll here in quite awhile, so, I forgot. Oops.

                No they won't. Regular computer users like easy graphical user interfaces too much.

                Also, MS pushes it's product so hard, they will dominate for a long time to come.

                  Besides, most people think that the Windows IS the computer and all there is to it. It's a horrible misconception, but that's how it is.

                        How can you expect an OS that was built by geeks and geared towards geeks to ever catch on mainstream?

                        Answer: it won't

                          All new operating systems are for geeks. When MS-DOS first came out, it was definitely for geeks. It'll catch on. You just watch!

                            Well, it won't EXACTLY die... considering NT and XP and all of the future releases of Windows are based on it

                              I wonder which of those two most people will go for
