"Yet, only one OS is superior and will ultimately emerge as the victor"
LOGIC FAIL
1) there is no single os optimal across all devices and use cases. Some people/uses don't need real multitasking, etc etc.
2) even within a single use case better solutions don't always win in the marketplace, vhs, win3.1 vs Desqview/X, shoehorn your favorite example.
The premise of this piece is silly, we can ignore the beautypagent monday AM quarterbacks.
