This debate is about as meaningful as Studebaker v Toyota. Long predicted, the whole game has finally moved to the Net. I believe MS stock has remained flat over the last 7 years; meanwhile, the growth in ad revenues for Google, et al demonstrate where the action is.

With its commanding market presence, all Google has to do is gradually roll-out desktop enhancements, and there goes the PC. (The list is quite endless given all the vertical market speciality applications; eg libarary search, geo-mapping, etc are just crude examples of what's coming down the pike.). With Linux handling the back-end server requirements, it's game-set-match.
