Why wouldnt it happen?
I dont think it would hurt M$ as much as it would the Linux Market.
If your Choice was between XP, OSX and Linux... in very few cases
would someone pick linux.
Lower cost, better stability, better security, faster, less resources
wasted on UI fetishes? Sadly you're probably right. People are more
interested in the shiny bright colored logos and toolbars that are
hideously cheerful looking than in the quality of the software they're
getting. Probably why productivity on PCs is so low. People spend all
day setting their background and playing Minesweeper. :)
On the other hand.. the people who would have used a Linux desktop
anyway would probably still use a Linux desktop. So I'd say this might
impact the Linux market slightly but I think it'll have a bigger impact
on Windows. Especially if Apple has the brains to fund Wine or some
similar project and intergrate it into OS X. OS X on x86 hardware that
can run Windows programs. THERE is a danger to Microsoft.
