Many years ago I took the UK's financial exams, part of which was a look at investment. This was the late eighties and at that point I seem to recall reading that of the top 100 companies in the UK in 1900 only were still in the top 100 and remember that was when the UK had the largest Empire the world has ever seen.

The point I am making is that there is a VERY good chance that Wordpress will lose its pre-eminence. Maybe not in the the next few years but I would lay bets on it not being the top dog in eighty years time.

For now though I think that it is the jewell in the crown of the web based world and am very happy working with it
