XP on Life Support...Or Is It?
Dell is giving XP one more week to live, and if we're to believe some
reports
from credible sources, Microsoft might be thinking of extending the stay
of execution for the popular operating system, too.
Well, it only makes sense, doesn't it? Look, Vista's
a dud, especially in the enterprise. We can pretty much state that as fact
now. So why not give customers what they want -- XP -- for now and hope that
Windows 7 will fare better than Vista? Why is Microsoft so afraid to do something
that might actually make customers (and, in turn, a lot of partners) happy?
Maybe it isn't. We'll see.
