| 699633 | 2008-08-24 03:42:00 | The part about "becoming" is a given. Maybe they are trying to tell it enough times to believe it themselves. Vista is looking like Millennium Edition-II. |

| 699637 | 2008-08-24 06:06:00 | Yes. Well I liked MSDOS 3.3 and had to be dragged into win 3.11 because I had a job that required this. Anyone noticed that not a lot of applications are written for MSDOS these days? This apart from boot disks which bypass your O/S and usually lead to file recovery or other utilities like Memtest for hardware issues for example. Most people do not need such software for testing on a regular basis. So therefore I conclude that people will be dragged into whatever O/S that allows them to run the applications they have or go buy other applications that will do the same job. If you simply rely on advertising then I would think more research would be better. |

If you simply rely on advertising then I would think more research would be better. What I have noticed is that programs were far better written and took a far smaller foot print because resources were small. It is like the web. When I first started things were very fast on dial up because the resources were small now you get some crappy web sites where the index page is a megabyte or more and at the end of the day they display no more info than than an origanal web site. |

| 699639 | 2008-08-24 19:56:00 | I don't know why MS are worried. Apple's are still a very small part of the market - less than 10%. And you have the marketing grunt of HP, Dell, Acer etc etc pushing PC's (or Windows PC's if you wish). They would be better spending that money on making sure that Windows 7 does something new that people want. All I can see that Vista offered was Gadgets and a breadcrumbs navigation feature. So why would you spend 1,000s in a big company to upgrade ? |
