doubt it would happen in my lifetime honestly

We're at least 28 years into 'Totally year of the Linux desktop!', so I must say I'm afraid your right.

This has been a shockingly long-tail of inertia, and if people haven't started moving by now I can't see what exactly would suddenly cause people to decide to learn a new OS - which is a huge time investment - and all new software.

Maybe if Nadella starts breaking into people's houses and wrecking up the place?
