Microsoft should just abandon Vista and build a new OS or imrove on XP, because if they stay with Vista any longer,they will go out of business and have a bad name.

Yah, because any product that sells 100 Million units is a flop. Damn, theres hate and then there is stupidity. That line definitely fits the latter.

Getting a product sold because the consumer has little choice other than what MS is offering doesn't mean the product is a success. It means there are people out there that will buy crappy products simply because they have no other choice, as with ISPs. If you like it means it's a success to the marketing strategy of MS...eliminating support for previous version to force consumers on newer products all the while marketing that it's one great OS. Would you like to be that consumer or would you want to be a consumer that really wants a good product that's worth your hard earn money?

So yes, it might make sense for MS to rewrite a whole new OS but they aren't going to. They can just build code on top of the crappy codes they've already written. Oh, and don't think it makes any sense for MS to start from scratch :o

I'm looking forward to WinServer2008. Multiple virtual machines makes for a better ROI.

I know there're already products from other companies that do this, but hey, nothing beats *official* support from Microsoft.
