Hi All, When Vista was released I was hard pressed to find a system that had XP on it. Yesterday I looked again and there were plenty on the shopping list. Another interesting point is that LG is giving resellers a kit that allows you to "downgrade" to XP if you buy a system with Vista Business on it. My experiences with Vista have been less than good and I've refused to allow it on one client's network at all.

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. Cheers Szemir On November 14, 2007 16:07, Gustin Johnson wrote: > Ah John Dvorak.
