MS-Windows is just as "potentially endangered". Anyone who thinks Windows
will last for centuries is out of their gourd! Someday in the future, ALL
existing OS's will seem like "stone knives and bearskins". Look at the
computers on Star Trek which are protocol-adapting in real time, and try
to say, without laughing, "That could happen in a Microsoft world."
