The numbers say that Vista did not stick very well. And by comparison, a year 
after the XP release you would be hard pressed to find anyone selling new pc 
with 98 of me for that matter, so he does highlight a fact that Vista is not 
selling well, the other fact is the continuing demand for XP, and the main 
point of the article that XP lifespan has been extended for another year, yes 
it would bring back memories of 98 finally getting the last nail in the 
coffin last year. He is also , i think is close to the point when complaining 
about the fragmentation of the Vista product line and a stiff competition 
specially regarding 3d desktop ... 
And no i am not expecting him to go Linux, but with some well played tactics, 
Linux could carve a crucial niche for itself regarding the desktop sphere.

On a side note, He mentioned all the promissed features to be available in 
Vista, that never really made it past the promise stage. A stark reminder of 
an old word usually associated with our beloved Microsoft: Vaporware.
