Worse, Microsoft is trying to sell a "pay as you go" plan, where you are billed for the software you use as you use it, and (presumably plugged into a cloud network) the compute cycles.
Frankly it looks like Microsoft is just doing in real life what it did in the latest commercials, call VISTA by another name and try to re-sell it.
I do not know about you but I am tired of the constant requirement for upgrades. The expense is high and the benefits few and mostly cosmetic. Microsoft has forgotten that the customer is always right, and has taken the attitude that we the computing public will lap up whatever Microsoft deigns to set before us.
It ain't so. Nothing typifies the arrogance and greed of US corporations over the last few decades more than Microsoft. And we the people are fed up with it.
I do not want VISTA. I do not want Windows 7. I especially do not want a newer operating system that places more control over MY hardware in the hands of Microsoft. XP is finally (just as they are about to junk it) soft of stable. I am keeping my XP machines until they corrode away and then I will replace them with LINUX boxes. I have had it with software designed by lawyers and marketing types.
