I love Linux. I use Ubuntu everyday. I do, however, think that the biggest threat to MS is cloud computing. Once the average Joe uses web based apps as his/her primary tools, the operating system really doesn't matter. Google has known this for years. MS is finally catching on.

You buy a computer. It comes with MS. That's what you know and use. End of story, even though distros like Ubuntu are all most people need.
