| 707871 | 2008-09-27 19:16:00 | I think they should just concentrate on making the code smaller and tighter. But from M$S point of view, they are in trouble because since XP there are no compelling reasons to buy the new versions. Eg Vista only gives me a couple of nice interface benefits. Hardly any reason to shell out big bucks That's why so many companies have stuck with XP. It sounds like 7 will be the same. And here is a point ! If you are on XP and want to get 7 will you have to pay for Vista ? |

| 707872 | 2008-09-27 19:26:00 | We are all paying for Vista whether we like it or not. It is just a part of increased business overheads. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 707873 | 2008-09-27 20:25:00 | I am not paying for vista since I still use XP and will continue to do so while I learn Linux | gary67 (56) | ||
| 707874 | 2008-09-27 23:42:00 | When your local shop uses Vista, his costs go up, then the prices go up. You pay. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 707875 | 2008-09-28 00:37:00 | Windows 7 is vapourware isn't it :) . Just Microsoft playing its silly marketing games with its competitors. Thats right they have killed them all bar Apple. | dolby digital (5073) | ||
| 707876 | 2008-09-28 05:32:00 | I'd happily pay for Vista, as well as Windows 7 when it comes out - reviews and people who haven't tried it be damned. | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 707878 | 2008-09-30 01:21:00 | Windows 7 sounds promising....but so did Vista. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 707879 | 2008-09-30 02:07:00 | They need to fix the crap that is the registry and I reckon it should be more modular so you can install only what you need. Totally agree - they proved they could with Server 2008 server core. |
