Resistence is futile - you will be assimilated.
Vista will rule - every time Microsoft goes through a major platform upgrade - it takes the world at least 18 months to get on board.
Next year Microsofts sales numbers will be down as the world hesitates in order not to be first on the block to take the plunge.
VISTA will ultimately not be an option for most - new applications will require it.
This process takes a long time in our 3 minute society.
Not if you use linux!!!!!!
Yes, I agree with your thoughts. However, I think the author is pointing out that completely unlike, Windows 95?, where people literally were camping out at Best Buy at midnight waiting to get their hands on a copy, Vista will be far, far different. Even in my own case, I have been strongly considering going over to the dark side, and buying one of the lefty's favorite chic toys, an Apple G5.
Assume MS to stop supporting XP in the 17th month.
