The Eclipse of Microsoft?
I've been a Microsoft customer for many years, and I think they added a great deal to our mighty technological civilization. I also believe that they have made enough money, and we may need to find some alternatives to their 90% dominance of the world computer market. Recently, a Linux-based graphics-oriented system called gOS has been released, and is being marketed by Google. This system is definitely geared towards the tech-savvy teens and twentysomethings of the 21st century. It has icons for a quick connection to Wikipedia and social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube. Best of all, it's free, and completely open-source. No more shelling out $300 for a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate! It has the Firefox browser, and the OpenOffice look-alike of Microsoft Office 2003. It's compatible with preexisting Office files as well. I've tried out the system, and it seems to run fairly reliably. Walmart has a $200 PC available running this system, which is considerably less than a similar $350 Windows Vista system with the same hardware. This show that Microsoft's weight on the PC industry is heavy indeed. So strike a blow for the forces of liberation, and try gOS!
