Alien

When I change laptops now it doesn’t take much effort thanks to Google.

Between Chrome and Drive it all just sort of happens. In fact the only reason I store files locally is in case I am ever working offline, which is becoming more and more of a rarity.

So why do we use the Microsoft OS at all?

I think it comes down to the Microsoft Office suite and isn’t it fun watching Google slowly and surely add functionality to their online equivalent?

The other apps on the Microsoft OS aren’t critical for me – sure there are some good ones, but they are succumbing to online services at a rate of knots.

For Microsoft it must feel like having an alien in the belly; slowly growing and with complete surety it will eventually burst out thereby killing its host.
