InfoWorld launches drive to save Windows XP
The clock is ticking for Windows XP, the tried-and-true Microsoft operating system that millions of businesses and individuals depend on. Soon, the only Windows option will be Vista, an operating system that businesses as well as individuals have disliked and often avoided. The lackluster changes to Vista, coupled with the high costs of switching tens of millions of computers to it, have convinced InfoWorld that XP should not be retired as planned on June 30.
I am beginning to believe that Microsoft should just scrap Vista, writing it off as a bad idea. Why scrap a perfectly good, tried and tested OS for a version full of bugs with a huge footprint requiring all new hardware? Where is the benefit? Microsoft forgot about their customers.
Anyway, here is the petition: http://www.accelacomm.com/… if you’re interested–I signed it (but I’d rather run Linux!

First off, Microsoft needs to realize that less can be more–especially when it comes to PC operating systems–and start designing products accordingly. Surveys and anecdotal evidence suggest that many users have rejected Vista because of its bulk and resource requirements

Who in the hell is Asustek, and why does Microsoft hate them more than any other company in the industry? Why does Apple, Dell and Palm Computing hate them?
And why does Intel love them?

Eweek reports:
“A recent survey shows that 44 percent of businesses are considering Mac OS and Linux rather than switching to Vista.”
We are seeing the barbarians at the gate now, and the MS empire begins to show its first signs of crumbling. And it’s been a long time coming, I’m afraid. It goes to show you how ineffective the US anti-trust laws are, and how the free market is self-regulating.
It seems that Microsoft is very out of touch of what their customers really want, and is full steam ahead using its outdated business model of forced upgrading. Looks like business aren’t biting now, because there has to be a good business reason to upgrade. If MS were smart, they’d have dropped Vista and concentrated on just keeping their current customers happy. By forcing an “upgrade”, they are causing their customers to reassess the need for Microsoft in their business, or at least, on their employees’ desktops.
