I think it's great to have competition between the two (if Linux can continue it's market share increase).  Microsoft really needs to step it up and prove they are innovative.  I will probably always prefer MS systems but would love to see them fight a little more to stay ahead.  My fear is that they are becoming lazy with their last few operating systems.  This could turn into a trend that someday (in the far, far future) could spell their doom.

LOL, funny you would support the full time cloners and put the onus on MS to innovate. Where is the open source Active Directory? Equivalent to .NET framework? Media Center O/S? Hell, they can't even match Outlook after years of trying, ROFL.
