Operational Systems War

Before thinking about write this article I was happy with my Win7 for it's user friendly desktop, my GNU/Linux Mint 13 for development, Android for my Sony smart-phone and Apple's IOs for my tablet (or IPad).

For stranger it may seem, the comfort of having so many different resources was given just and only for all options and tools one of those could give exclusively on that platform.

What we can see in this chart above is that Microsoft dominate the OS market but with Windows 10 and the probable expansion of Microsoft own devices and computers is a prediction that Google is about to do the same path inverted and also, a response to Apple.

Facts
All this unification of services and products and the not so far future of new computers and devices lead us to know that there is a silent war going on and we are the ones who will decide between the easy way (giving away our identity and privacy) or the hard way using alternative systems like GNU/Linux and perhaps, save something private.

Corporations all over the world are giving two years before thinking about implementing the new Windows 10 and Sony itself is discouraging it's users to update till further instructions.
