Winners and losers from my perspective: - Linux CLI beats Windows CLI - hopefully I can go the rest of my life without learning to use Powershell or cmd.exe. If anything this cements rather than undermines my preference to use Linux on embedded devices and webservers. - Windows desktop environment beats Linux environments. I'm now less likely to use Unity/GNOME/KDE in my desktop OS, because, while they are ok, they were never one of the reasons I used Linux for my desktop.

I'm not sure which OS this helps/hurts more in the long run, but I know I'm happy.
