Why do predictions about the future matter when at the present 
Windows dominates the desktop and is also strong in the server 
space? I have seen conflicting reports about what OS is bigger in 
the server market, but Windows is substantial and the more 
frequent winner.

And if desktop OSes were going to go away, the MacOS would go 
before Windows.
