“Windows Share Will Drop to 57% in 2005.”
“Web and information appliances are starting to erode the

Explorer. In the PC market Linux is taking market share from
Windows. In web appliances Windows-based operating systems and
Internet/Pocket Explorer will be among the leading products, but
neither will dominate the market. The result is that among all web
devices — including PCs — the market shares of Windows and
Internet Explorer have already peaked and will drop rapidly in the
next five years.”
