Todd/Andy " But, I believe people will eventually learn, once bitten and twice shy. I don't think so, otherwise Windows would have died long ago.
Yup, that's theory vs. reality. " I strongly disagree. XP is a relatively good operating system. Linux is a PITA to install for novices and OS X only runs on one vendor's expensive hardware. There was no viable alternative to Windows for the past decade but now that we have choice, we are seeing people exercise their right to move. That's not to say XP is perfect and people have learned... once bitten, twice shy - so, Vista anyone? The Windows platform IS dying. Consumers are not blindly upgrading hardware anymore to run the latest OS. More people are understanding that they only need a text editor and web browser, they no longer _desire_ all the features advertised to them. This is the Market at work, with a healthy dose of anti-competitive regulation against MSFT. Thanks /pauric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
