For the mass home user market, yes.
For the private user who just want to get a job done fast, or in
buisness, or in the embadded system market, or in mission critical
devices, its very much alive.
Regarding streaming audio: Just because there is no DOS program that
support this, no one said its impossible. Fact: Arachne and Quickview
were an "impossibility" until awhile ago.
For the real power user, there is no such thing as a "dead system".
For he/she can use it without needing the support of the rest of
the mainstream market.
So, if you are talking from the aspect of what the mainstream home
user market believe, its dead.
And i'd rather let them keeping on thinking so. Its actually better
this way.
