Maybe not for everyone, but it will never be the year of the Windows Desktop for everyone either.


Everyone is a basically impossible metric, so this is a fairly pointless statement.


It was, some 25+ years ago.


No it wasn't. Only in your head


Over 90% of desktops had Windows back then. So yea, that's everybody. Unless you're being pedantic because one guy was using IRIX on an SGI workstation, or the odd Mac.


10% of everyone is still a whole lot of people. Even 1% of everyone is a lot of people.


Of course "everyone" isn't meant literally in a context like this.


No one said “everyone” until you did, and now you’re using it to be pedantic… bad faith tactic that.


Don’t be a troll.
