This article was actually a letter written by an official at Microsoft and posted by a blogger.
Over a billion pcs run Windows worldwide. XP users who buy Vista will be able to get Vista and still use XP due to downgrade rights.
The letter enthusiastically discusses Vista, which shouldn't be a surprise considering the source, but everyone I have known who used Vista has hated it. Their complaint: too many bells and whistles, and incompatible with their applications.
I can't understand Microsoft's rationale: why fix something (invent Vista), if it's not broken (Windows XP)?
The main jist of this article: Microsoft will support XP until 2014, Windows Vista is a "better" experience, and Windows 7 is coming January of 2010.
