Death of the Windows desktop coming

Alarming Microsoft news... the end is near for the Windows desktop: See Why Windows Blue heralds the death of the desktop.

Microsoft don't get it. Look! Windows 8 is not selling hot. And there are more of that poor interface coming. Don't listen to your customer = the end is near for YOU. It really is the end of the PC Era as Microsoft is destroying itself. Arise the Mac... people will eventually switch. Face it, people love the IPhone (and not the wacky Microsoft phones, sales numbers says it all). People will eventually get used to the Mac as well (and would soon get over its wackiness like constant one menu outside the app you are running, and put up with the Finder). Arise Linux.. people will find soon embrace vi like their grandfathers than fool around with Metro. Nowadays, it is actually much easier to abandon Windows and install Linux (on your pre Winows 8 machine). Oh and Microsoft dares to make that hard with Windows 8. See here for details.

People will stick with Windows 7 until they can't use it anymore. I do not expect Microsoft's sales will ever go up unless they give desktop users a decent desktop.
