Winders WILL persist ... but, kinda like iOS, will be some kind of Unix under the GUI. However they won't really TELL anyone ....... The "look & feel" and some degree of backwards compatibility is required. Then they can still claim it's Winders. The backwards compatibility may even be achieved, sneakily, using emulators - either outright or as spawned VMs. Winders, as IS, is a Gordian knot ... a total MESS. Nobody knows why/how anything works or how it interacts with other stuff except by gross trial and error. It's unsustainable - way too big for its britches. Hurry hurry, don't be late, buy yer Win NT2 at the great new introductory price ! :-)
