At this point it may be more a matter of opinion but MS's future plans do
not include any new o/s. They may release a future O/S but it will not be
anything as extensive as Vista. I do believe how ever that this is not the
place to debate such a matter.

This is true, and I'm not saying they're "near the end", only at "the
beginning of the end"... and of course I may be wrong.

I think that anyone who thinks that Microsoft is near an end is being
