With the recent speculation that Vista may well be Microsoft's last attempt at an operating system, because of production delays, bugs, and the fact that it took Microsoft 5 years to make 1 next OS, while in comparison Apple made 4, consumers are beginning to ask, what's next? Will Microsoft simply bow out and hand it's strangle hold on the OS market over to Apple? Or will Microsoft start a new chapter in OS history by having their next OS Web-based. Consider this article by Elizabeth Montalbano, IDG News Service June 27, 2006 "An online test version of Office 2007 could spur rumors that Microsoft will eventually offer the software online as a Web-based service. Microsoft already offers a service called Office Live that offers Web-site hosting, document-management and business-management tools, but it does not offer worker productivity applications the way the packaged software version of Office does. However, competitor Google Inc. offers a free, Web-based word-processing application called Writely, a move that some think Microsoft may counter in the future with a Web-based version of Office." If Microsoft creates it's next OS Web-based, whether good are bad for privacy, competitors will be forced to follow. This is the future that we at
