"Microsoft's Windows is the undisputed king of the desktop, and, for a long time now, it's seemed as though Windows would reign forever more. However, with customer uptake of Vista still limp—even with the magical Service Pack 1 milestone months behind us—it's time to ask if any of Windows' client OSes has what it takes to capture a bigger chunk of the mainstream desktop. Here are some of the contenders."

It would have been nice if they had included eComStation.  8) I will send an e-mail about it.

I hate articles like this. They state Netscape as an OS. Netscape is not an OS and probably never will be. The rest are all *Nixy

Microsoft tries to reclaim Windows' image

Microsoft's efforts come at a critical time for the software maker. It has seen its still-dominant market share slip amid strong gains by Apple. At the same time, the ever increasing power of Web applications has increased the threat from Linux-based machines, seen most poignantly with the appeal of cheap, low-end portable computers like Asus' Eee PC.
