Grr... if anyone is looking to destroy "the
desktop", it's Microsoft.
They have become completely absorbed in the business corner
of things,
working towards whatever puts money in 'the market'. The
destruction
is seemingly unintentional in that case, so probably not a
good comic
book plot.
Anyhow, could be interesting to see how they expect to
defeat Linux -
a task which is taking Microsoft an eternity - within what
looks like
only a few issues. I also wonder why Iron Man cares about
pitiful
desktop computing....
