Windows has a full market share because of good business practices. They're a company that sells software. Dont be all elitist because they're successful. Do you think they were just handed 90% of the market share? Think about how many of you here use Windows (this is a rhetorical question, Linux users).
As for the code leak, this is bad news, but less than 5% of the source code was stolen. Try and do anything effective with 5% of any of programs, and you'll understand it's fixable.
On a side note, I think it would be interesting to see a new computer chip architecture and a new OS built from the ground up. It would be an impossibly difficult task and it would never sell well, but it would be interesting to see a modern operating system that hasn't been built upon for 10+ years.

i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry
