I am thinking (hoping) that Jenny's Dream is closer to reality. I was looking about recently... I saw a thing about some of the new computer animated movies, and that the animation was done on Sun Microsystem machines and Silicon Graphics machines, both running their flavors of Unix. Linux is big stuff in the networking field, and is getting bigger, thanks to its tremendous upswelling of nerd support. OSX is basically a window manager for a unix core (while they were at it, why didn't they make Mac programs POSIX (Unix) and x-windows compliant?). Even XP's networking functions were copped from BeOS. I think that someday you will see OS's trend towards a central core (most likely Unix or Linux-like) with different "window managers" to give people their familiar surroundings. Programs for this or that OS will all work together, and incompatibilities will be a thing of the past.
I hope.
