The list of alleged Windows challengers gets longer and longer: Mac OS, NeXT, Java, Netscape Navigator, thin clients, net computers, Linux...People usually only see the operating system and what can be done with it. Then they think how this could be done differently. However, a serious Windows challenger has to compete with the whole Microsoft ecosystem. If you want to replace money with a new concept, you don't just have to have replace bills and coins, you have to replace the whole economic system. I think this rumor is as old as Windows.

This is a rumour that's been floating around for a while, that Windows is too long in the tooth to continue in the Internet age. It seems reasonable on the surface, but it assumes that Windows will just keep going in the same direction it always has. That's absurd, it'll continue to adapt. Agreed, it was a good answer.
