I got interested in technology at the time when the mantra was "UNIX is dead, Windows is the future" It's amazing how much things have changed. It's probably a testament to how good Windows actually is that Microsoft has been able to hold onto the desktop computer market while the rest of the technology industry has adopted Linux/UNIX on such a large scale. It's a fun exercise to make a mental note of all the various Linux/UNIX devices you see in a day. SOHO routers, TIVOs, TVs, SmartPhones etc. It's everywhere.
