Computing will be done on servers in the cloud from licensed consumer devices. MSs main competition is Google, and the Android system is going to come to PCs with a vengeance in the consumer PC market soon after the release of Android O. Google chrome book was just a dabble. Ubuntu will follow the model and keep Linux alive.

Let me be the first to say that if, and/or when, computing is done in the cloud and not on personally owned hardware, I'll be done with computing. Period. I will NEVER store data on a cloud server and will certainly not own a piece of hardware that will only allow me to use software on a server in the cloud. It will be a sad day, but I absolutely will never do it. >
