It's not interesting at all. Fast forward a few years when Windows 7 is released and the headline will be "Why Vista is doomed". And after Windows 8, "Why Windows 7 is doomed", ad infinitum. There's no worthwhile discussion here. It's the same story release after release just change the name.
Some of what the guy says doesn't even make any sense. MS under pressure from the OEM's? MS have life cycle dates posted on their websites. They can't change that. The guy acts like MS could just pull it today and be done with it. That's an ludicrous thought path to travel. Besides, Dell brought XP back because of customer demand early on and now they sell machines with a Vista/XP option on the OS config screen. If they are pressuring MS to get rid of XP they sure are doing it in a strange way. -- Mike Gill > -----Original Message----- > From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2008 7:20 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Why XP is doomed > > Interesting analysis from Cringely.
