The future of Windows is more secure than that of Linux. To most users the term "Windows" is synonymous with "computer". Most users aren't even aware that an alternative to Windows exists, much less interested in trying it. Microsoft has two major new Windows versions coming up. The first of these is Windows XP 64-Bit, which is designed to run on the new 64-bit architecture and take full advantage of its increased power and processing capability. The second is Windows Longhorn. Longhorn is the codename for the next version of Windows. Longhorn will be a 32-bit and 64-bit operating system again based on the NT code. Longhorn will correct many of Window XP's flaws, add greater security, and an additional look and customization options to the GUI. Windows is gradually falling out of favor with many more dedicated computer users, who turn to Linux or Macintosh computers, but this is a very small percentage and will most likely not affect Microsoft's operating system dominance.
