This is the wrong place for such questions. We don't have any psychics or crystal balls here. Only Crystal Reports sometimes.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Exactly. Windows has been consistently less than 70% of visitors on all my websites for the last 10 years, dropping to about 50% in one year. It has picked up a bit recently.
So am I lead to believe that the vast majority of non-windows users run Microsoft office, when its still not available for Linux, and wasn't available for many year on Apples OSes. What other MS software could fill the remainder? It doesn't make sense.

Since Windows 8 I prefer not to think about Mickeysoft.

One thing we think about is observing the gibberish you used to post. Use real words.
Capitalization and spelling are also appreciated.
This place isn't for posting in text formats, and despite all the squawking, not for tweet-style, either. In other words, use words!

Yeah, well, that's not psychic - that's sorcery or black magic! Nobody ever knows if it works - and how! And nobody wants to touch it with a 10 foot pole...

Oh my, thanks a lot for reminding me that I must revisit Hades and make a deal with the landlord in order to figure out the bare essential distributable libraries needed for CR XI through field definitions. This is not a programming question, merely an expression of disgust! 
Edit: There is a reason I reference the CrystalRuntime.Application object as 'crAp'!

Yes. Windows 11.
Caveat: The future may not have as many 'computers' as mobile devices.

I am informed that this is the year of the Linux Desktop.

I think the Apple Watch is dumb, but I can all but guarantee it will sell more copies than the installed base of Linux on the Desktop within a month of its release.

It's been the year of the Linux desktop for me for the past 6 years; everytime I produce a reasonably straight doze machine somebody buys it from me.
Most recently I bombed a W7 machine from ebay back to the stone age, with only 70G of free space(from 250 G disk) it was obviously a mule full of paedo stuff or simply another terrible case of windows bloat.
Sold it at a profit.

People will keep betting on the market-leader. Meaning the market-leader will stay exactly that, regardless of quality.

It's not only betting on the market-leader.
You stay market-leader by providing better quality than your competitors. And quality in regards to operating systems includes more than just system stability. You have to consider the number of available software (and it's quality), backwards compatibility and so on as well. You can write a completely bug-free OS if you want and you won't sell a copy of it unless your customers are actually able to run the software they need on it.
Of course software companies tend to write for operating system of the market-leader first, which in turn makes it kinda difficult for other OS publishers.
