Imagine that you make cars. You are the biggest automaker in the world and
you more or less own the market, particularly the corporate fleet segment.
Because almost everyone has one of your cars, if you want them to keep
paying you money you have to come up with a better car.

I disagree with this article. It says " In short {vista}, it isn't a
disaster but neither is it a real success."


OH IT IS A TREMENDUS DISASTER!!!

No. Vista is many steps up from YOU.

No one has ever insulted me more in my life..

Thanks, I'm glad I got that distinction.

NO! You and all your family are Vistas! SO THERE!

Oh I'm running scared in my boots. You sure told me!

In a Vista newsgroup it's called a VW: Vista Windows.

Not really. Keep in mind that Microsoft has pimp slapped the OEM
channel so Vista is being adopted no matter what. Because of this they
are able to push the initiatives that are part of Vista (Games for
Windows, etc..) without hindrance.

Vista isn't the end of the world, it has quote a few new features that
the world will find attractive one the hardware specs catch up with it.
3 years from now when quadcore machines are everywhere and 64bit
software is no longer exotic, XP will seem quaint. Just like Windows 98
does now
