"
Doubt it! Vista is the ME of XP"
Proof that you don't know ME or Vista.
ME was a very minor upgrade that ame out barely a year after Win 98.
Vista is a major upgrade that had cme out a full 5 years after XP.
Your analogy doesn't even come close to being close to reality.
Get back to me when you get to the real world will ya?
"
Theres nothing in it that makes an upgrade "
Yeah?

"
I don't think people are going to want to risk buying Vista after remembering the nightmare of XP's first release and all the SP's they had to go through to secure it."
Luckily, you don't speak for "people".
The Microsoft-haters said exactly the same things about XP when it was launched. It went to become the best selling operating system ever. So you will excuse me while I laug at your predictions.
