Currently Windows RT, running on ARM CPUs, contain both a Metro mode and a desktop mode just like Windows 8.1 PCs. "We will streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system for screens of all sizes" (or not)

Several reports from usually reliable Windows watchers say Microsoft is poised to unveil Windows 9 at the end of September. The new OS will mark the return of the Start menu, the ability to run Metro apps inside desktop windows, and other PC-friendly tweaks. The timing makes ton of sense, in spite of Windows 8's short run. Why? Because Windows 7. "Windows 7 PCs will say buh-bye at the end of October." (Sort of)

As usual, Wally[^] nails it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And remember these examples:

People from all corners of the globe are helping WWF Endangered Programming Language Institute to build a
future where compilers and interpreters live in harmony with nature.
They might be tracking PL/I in the Himalayas or bottle feeding ALGOL in Brussels,
helping communities in Redmond develop sustainable infracturure for abandoned SNOBOL interpreters.

Your donation of approximately the price of a Starbucks coffee a day will ensure a happier life for these

I believe your correct response is "Oops!"
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

I wrote:
Quote: IF IBM has 90% of the market with 3500 customers
Which is just a shorter version of what the article said:
Quote: but IBM has the lion's share of the market today, with more than 90%. And 50 years after IBM released its first mainframe, the System/360, in April 1964, the company still has 3,500 mainframe customers.
