From a business perspective they should of stop selling Windows XP a long time ago.
Now dont get me wrong, i love XP and dont care for Vista, but the longer M$ kept selling XP, the less likely people would buy Vista. Now with Vista as the only Windows available, it can start reeping the sales, course most people who got Vista got it with a new computer. seeing as how Vista costs so darn much, its almost cheaper to buy a new computer, why microsoft didnt have vista updates for 99 bucks like xp did is beyond me, i think Microsofts biggest problem with vista now is cause it comes in like 7 flavors and they are shortchanging people on the features, if ya want the one with the most features it costs 500 or more, go figure, i would rather spend 500 on a new computer that can do more things, than an os that does only a few new things, i mean wouldnt ya rather spend 500 on a used car than 500 on a rebuilt engine? come on microsoft give the people some cheaper oses, no wonder people are switching to linux, same goes for Office, people are turning away from the over priced suite and using open office, why cause it does the same stuff for free, microsoft needs to learn from that example, to remain selling stuff they need to match the competition, and lower their prices.
