Tired of the “Vista is a failure” Messages
Tonight I ran across this article that is the final straw. I am SOOOO tired of the “Vista is a failure” messages.
When are people going to realize that Microsoft IS NOT going to stop promoting Vista and that XP (no matter what service pack) is NOT the future for Microsoft NOR the future for MS’s competition for Linux Desktop. People that are on XP will be forced to upgrade over time to Vista (or whatever the next version of Windows … and that version will indeed be based on Vista).
If you use XP, you’re gonna upgrade, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and very soon. Vista, no matter how slow the adoption, is not a failure. It is a defacto win. Get OVER IT already.

As I do agree with what you are saying that Vista does not stop the mass choosing for Windows, the slow adoption (and not so wow feeling that vented) might lead to Vista being skipped by those who can hold out and stick with XP waiting for the next Windows version (or any good alternative).
Look what happened to ME, that was also supposed to be a super home and gaming OS but didn’t fly due to all the negative feedback.
Also implementing Vista means having to renew many elements in the infrastructure to get it all working as it should… and why go through all that if what you have suffices + Vista (pre SP1) is far from polished…
XP is not the future, but so far Vista doesn’t seem to be the best candidate either. So there are a few ways to look at it… Hoping SP1 may bring some change to that.
