At the latest budget meeting they "fine tuned the Vista/XP mix". This means
that they are expecting to make more money off of the ostracized OS than
they had first predicted. Initial expectations were of an 85/15 split
between Vista and XP respectively. The new numbers reflect a noticeably
higher number, 78/22
Here's to hoping that Microsoft realizes they have a pretty good OS already,
and that all the eye-candy isn't a good enough trade off for the usability
of XP. Maybe they will change their mind about the XP retailer sales cut-off
date that is quickly approaching.
I for one will cling dearly to my precious copies of Windows XP, I may begin
venturing out and exploring other operating systems, but a lot is going to
have to change before I switch to Vista.
