Life after Vista
Microsoft Vista (long delayed) is on the horizon, so I was interested to read this
report in The Age newspaper that notes the quiet surrounding its launch. We can expect an enormous marketing campaign to tout this software and several billions of new revenue to fill the coffers at Microsoft each year. Vista cannot be a dud when just about every new PC that can be purchased today has Vista installed. Ever wondered why?
The report goes on to note that open-source software or new entries such as the quasi-operating system from Google Inc. are now a serious threat. Some analysts even think that Vista may be the last ever massive Windows release from Microsoft as they move to different, more modular upgrade path.
We live in interesting times.
