Windows is not growing much in functionality... Windows is important as a problem as long as it is non-free and considerable numbers of people keep using it. It is clear that when you say it "hardly matters" you are thinking of some other criterion. The more urgent issue concerns the emerging W3C-based world: what will GNU have to offer there? If you are talking about the practice of installing non-free software into a browser, the only thing that is good to offer is the reminder that you must refuse to do that.
