Is Linux "at the end of its life cycle"?

So Windows, which is older than Linux, is past the end of its life cycle?

Did anyone consider that this might have been dreamed up by someone who is pro-Linux who thought that the anti-MS sentiment hasn't been high enough lately, so they stirred the pot? Yeah, I kind of doubt it, too... or maybe this comment was meant to stir up pro-MS sentiment amongst the people that don't want to be manipulated by pro-Linux anti-MS reverse-psychology.
