The original japanese article.

The last part of the article was cut off. Here what it says, 2035: In most countries, messaging apps (including email clients) are considered "critical applications" that must undergo government approval before publication.

There will never be the year of the linux desktop but that is not because windows won but that the PC lost.

The era of the home PC is over.

Most people's first introduction with windows these days is in the work place.

Windows (and the PC) lost the battle to to be the centre of home entertainment more than a decade ago.

Sure, it still dominates pc gaming but that is a rounding error when it comes to media consumption.
