There are about 3 billion PCs in use and the only reason there are more smartphones is because smartphones are dirt cheap commodities and a single person can have multiple smartphones but only a single PC.

If CoC sticks around, it gradually loses relevance and it's reliability. Fork may occur, but the CoC won't necessarily be the tipping point. Some people still migrate from Windows to Linux and some companies end up better supporting it; but in the big picture, the people who migrated to finally support their ideals or to escape Windows do so too lately and essentially jump from the frying pan and into the oven.

These three will merge. It will actually be Google buying MSFT, but later will rollup FB. (to be fair though, fb will almost be dead by the time they buy).
The biggest change tech has ever seen will be google botnet integrated into every corner of windows. Google will do away with all licensing and every MS product will be "free". As a result it will achieve near 98% penetration into every market. Every sign, atm, security camera, POS checkout, etc will be full Goog-MSFT botnet.

Fuchsia doesn't kill Linux as quickly as Chrome killed IE but it does grow. Their indigenous devices (Pixel, Chromebooks, etc.) continue to grow in profitability and marketshare. YouTube and Google Search are slightly less popular due to autistic alternatives but still have a firm monopoly. Maps, Docs, etc. maintain their unbreakable hold over normies. Google+ is still unpopular.
Most of their big money comes from energy investments and the like that normies are unaware of, which they then use to subsidize low cost services like YouTube that allow them control over the narrative. They also continue to get significant funding from the US Deep State and their relationship (financial and otherwise) with the Chinese government grows. They may get hit with a few anti-trust actions but it won't impact them significantly. If Trump somehow manages to go off the reservation and really try to break them up (which he won't), they will abandon the US. They are the true unbeatable evil empire of our time.
>Facebook
Facebook itself limps along mostly inhabited by pajeets and grandmas. Instagram is somewhat less popular but still relevant so long as they don't change anything too much, becoming more of a "default social network" (especially among Gen Zs) than Facebook itself, which comes to be seen as optional if not completely dispensable by most Westerners (as it basically already is now). The company struggles to innovate or even properly develop new acquisitions but they don't go under as their reputation allows them to call upon a variety of favors and financing options, particularly from the developing nations that think of Facebook as the entire Internet.
>Microsoft
Consumer acceptance of Windows as SaaS is non-existent; normies would rather get viruses than pay a monthly fee. The Xbox brand experiences a mild resurgence due to its recent commitment to consumer friendliness, but Microsoft immediately fucks it up. They're still fine though as they continue to milk the sweet teat of enterprises that have sold their soul to Windows and Office forever.
>Apple
iShit is less popular marketshare-wise (though their sales numbers will still probably go up in absolute terms due to expanding populations and growing middle classes in the third world) but they've got tons of cash so they're fine. They try to introduce a few other new products but nobody cares.
>Amazon
They lose significant market share to competitors but are still healthy. They become the Wal-Mart of the Web: Everybody buys from Wal-Mart sometimes, but nobody buys only from Wal-Mart.
>Windows
It's still shit. It's still dominant on desktop. It tries to shove cloud services down your throat in every context but Microsoft's too afraid to make it completely unusable without cloudshit so most people just ignore it.
>OSX
Nobody cares about it still other than hipsters and people who do so much hard technical work as part of their main occupation that they wanted to be treated like babies by their computers when they get home.
>Linux
It's about the same as ever, though somewhat more popular on desktop and somewhat less popular everywhere else (due to fuchsia). Linus comes back but with far less power, though everyone tries to pretend (except autists here) like he's still the "benevolent dictator" and hasn't been compromised at all. The code quality isn't much worse but they are less scrupulous about things like backwards compatibility and not breaking userspace that Linus stressed. There's tons of corporate cruft and binary blobs in it.

>Google
They'll have changed their policies and licenses to respect user freedom and all Google software will have become free software.
>Facebook
Facebook will have died as a social network because its users will have removed their accounts and moved to GNU social.
>Microsoft
Using the same tactics employed in getting users to switch to Windows 10, Microsoft will have seen the great evil they did and will have encouraged users to upgrade to a free operating system, eventually gracefully dying as a corporation.
>Apple
Due to the successes of software freedom activism and the complete migration of users to free software, Apple will have lost all customers and bankrupted.
>Amazon
As I have never used Amazon, I have no opinion.
>Linux
If what you're referring to is the kernel named Linux, then that will continue to be one of the most-used kernels in personal computers. Some time further in the future a different kernel, such as GNU Hurd, will dethrone it.
>FOSS community
The FOSS community will see an exponential growth in FOSS developers, especially from Spanish-speaking countries and countries where free software activism has been successful.

Large companies collapse all the time. Who do you think Apple and Amazon displaced? Nike just lost over $1 billion last week. These sorts of companies are extremely fragile, especially given that they are by definition poorly managed. Just in the last few months Sports Authority and Toys'R'Us closed their doors for good, and K-Mart will do so too within a few months. You faggots are just mad that you're losing in your traitorous investments in those companies. Put your money in actual good companies, not what the kikes tell you are "too big to fail and may possibly even beat inflation!" If you purposely invest in companies without expecting to triple your investment within 3 years, you should just kys.

Those 5 companies you listed all have the same thing in common though. Brick and Mortar chains that have become obsolete with the advent of online shopping. Large companies like Google and Microsoft that make most of their income from data don't have the same type of vulnerability.

MS Windows 10 is multi-tiered (Home, Home Server, Premium, Professional, etc) subscription based. Windows 10 will called something else to stay hip and relevant but will still be the same rolling release trash.
MS Windows 7 is completely discontinued.
There will be a Microsoft Linux distribution that has limited support for Windows applications via a VM or compatibility layer (like Wine). It will have features that regular Linux can legally not have.
MSLinux will be geared toward pre-installs for home consumer computers/laptops and will be plagued with advertisements, telemetry, incompatibilities, and other insecurities. Upgrades for the "real" Windows will be pretty seamless and for a nominal fee.
Linux will be known as just a bootleg Windows for poor people (so PR-wise back to the good old days I guess). It will be frustrating enough to get about 30% of it's users to pay the Windows 10 upgrade.
In general Laptop (and the extremely few desktops still being sold) will be locked pretty well against installing any OS other than MSWindows, MSLinux, ChromeOS, and I can foresee an IntelLinux.
FOSS Linux will be relegated to old hardware and VMs.

You fags do know that there is more to Facebook the company than just Facebook, right?
They are still the social media king owning all the top most popular choices. Just because you fags don't use social media don't mean they are irrelevant.

I can believe everything except the thing about laptops and desktops. I think they'll still be in use for a while just because the prevalence of gaming and the traditional workstation business laptop isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Also, I think the FOSS community will still be a thing, but it'll be even smaller than it is now since most people didn't give a shit about free software in the past but they used it if it had no alternative. Unfortunately, most alternatives are competing with Apple, Microsoft or Google, meaning normalniggers will eat that proprietary shit up

When East Germany fell, citizens were able to view the Stasi records of themselves (and now they are publicly available online).
I wonder if within our lifetimes a similar event will happen with America. I would like to know what tabs have been kept on non-threat citizens (such as you evil linux users)
